Hang the DeLay albatross around the GOP's neck

Josh Marshall has been on the warpath making sure that DeLay's stench lingers on the GOP. To wit:

So DeLay is out. But it's DeLay's House. DeLay's Republican DC machine. They built and fortified it with the money he brought in. The great majority of them voted for the "DeLay Rule" custom tailored for Majority Leader DeLay to avoid stepping down even after indictment. The current Republican membership of the House ethics committee was hand-picked to provide protection for DeLay and the old membership was purged. He's their guy. Their rule rests on his machine. They can run but they can't hide.

And as Republicans rally around their fallen leader (digby has responses from the White House, the evangelical extremists, and the conservative movement), the task shouldn't be too hard.
