WHAT, pray tell, is it gonna take...?

how much garbage and documented shadiness has to be unearthed on "the hammer" before the rats start leaving the ship... does the old saying that the "rats who leave first are usually the best swimmers" imply, in this case, that delay has been the one propping 'em all up and, if he goes down, they all go down with him...? sorta looks that way if ya read between the lines in this chicago tribune story...

Speaker Dennis Hastert [...] has the greatest influence over whether DeLay's GOP colleagues in the House will continue to back the embattled leader. [... ] "The speaker supports Majority Leader DeLay and he has the backing of the Republican conference," Hastert spokesman Ron Bonjean said. "Time and again the majority leader has helped the leadership and its work in successfully implementing the Republican agenda for Americans." [...] Asked under what circumstances Hastert might be compelled to ask DeLay to step down, the aide said the Republican leadership hasn't even considered the possibility.

but...

"He [Hastert] hasn't said anything against him but he hasn't said anything for him, either," said one senior GOP aide who also asked not to be identified.

hmmmm... ~scratches chin~
