Well, now, this should give the Republican Party some comfort. Republican House Majority Leader Tom DeLay has a plan to avoid responsibility to ethics rules and the law, and it's a doozy. Blame Democrats. The ethically challenged and admonsihed Republican Party leader, currently under multiple investigations, even went as far as to suggest anyone interested in ethics in government has a "Democratic agenda." Why, thanks, Tom!

Giving a preview of the approach he is likely to take when he appears before reporters this afternoon, DeLay dismissed questions about his travel and his relationships with lobbyists as "the Democratic agenda."

Attendees said DeLay, in extremely brief remarks, told the senators that, if asked about his predicament, they should blame Democrats and their lack of an agenda. The attendees said DeLay thanked Sen. Rick Santorum (R-Pa.) for supportive comments on ABC's "This Week" on Sunday. Santorum had said that DeLay is "very effective in leading the House," but he also noted that the Texas lawmaker needs to "lay out what he did and why he did it."
