From The Washington Post:

Tom DeLay's dogged quest for a new congressional map for Texas led to a disciplinary slap from the House ethics committee, his indictment on money-laundering charges, his fall from the House leadership ranks and, this month, his resignation from Congress.

Oh, but yesterday's Supreme Court decision made it all worth it. A Christ figure, a gerrymandering Jesus, Tom DeLay died politically for his party. "It's always worth it to stand up for the Constitution," he says.

Did he mention that he loves beavers?
