We just need The Virginian to go away -- and stay out of the process of cleaning up the mess he has left in his wake. But the Chronicle doesn't see it that way.

The former congressman, who engineered a Republican majority in the Texas House, probably has reduced the number of U.S. House seats Democrats need to regain a majority. He owes residents of District 22 a fuller explanation of his behavior.

Whatever his reasons for cutting and running, Tom DeLay will never again be seen in the same light by either friends or foes. As a constituent labeled DeLay in a letter to the Chronicle, it seems "The Hammer" has become "The Quitter."

Really, it does not matter. We have been screwed, blued and tattooed by Tom Delay over the last several months Any explanation is irrelevant and unproductive -- and no more welcome than his involvement is selecting his successor.
