So Tom DeLay is resigning amidst increasing scandal, preferring to cut and run rather than face the voters in November.

It's worth remembering that during the Terri Schiavo case, while even Chris Shays was yelling that the GOP had become "a party of theocracy," Joe Lieberman agreed with Tom DeLay that the federal government had the right to intervene in the most private matters of life and death:

MR. RUSSERT: You would have kept the tube in?

SEN. LIEBERMAN: I would have kept the tube in.

Tonight, Tom DeLay chose to cut and run rather than face the voters in an election he might lose.

And right now, by all accounts, Joe Lieberman is preparing to cut and run from the Democratic party rather than face the voters in a primary he might lose.

Cowards, both of them.
