DeLay Should Confer with Jensen

Texas Congressman Tom DeLay should look to Wisconsin and State Rep. Scott Jensen as an example of what he should do (and, should have done) – step down as Majority Leader.

Several years ago now, Democrat and Republican state legislators were accused of illegalities in public office, including then-Speaker, Scott Jensen.

Jensen did the right thing and gave-up his leadership position. His resignation has kept Legislative Democrats from crafting an anti-GOP groundswell with Jensen front and center as their poster-boy.

Today, WI Assembly Democrats hold just 39 of 99 seats - an embarrassing and historic low. Senate Democrats can thank former Majority Leader and future ankle-bracelet-wearing convict Chuck Chvala (among the co-conspirators) for handing Senate Republicans the majority.

Whoa, perhaps that’s the real lesson; Republicans need to toss DeLay from leadership before he brings down the House.
