GOP Should Drop Him Without Delay

DrudgeReport has broken tomorrow's front-page news:

Ethical questions surrounding House Majority Leader Rep. Tom DeLay of Texas intensify... A six-day trip to Moscow in 1997 by then-House Majority Whip Tom DeLay, R-Texas, was underwritten by business interests lobbying in support of the Russian government, according to four people with firsthand knowledge of the trip arrangements.

This isn't a "high crime" or misdemeanor, from the sound of it, but it's just another strike against a man who already has sketchy ethics and an unfriendly nature. The GOP needs someone to lead who the American people can identify as a leader. Just as they benefited from shedding the racist legacy of Trent Lott, they can benefit from shedding the unethical, gloves-off belligerence of DeLay.
