I wouldn't be surprised if Republican angst over DeLay is a byproduct of realization that in getting all those religious wacakdoos to vote Republican, you have to throw them rather unpalatable bones every now and then.
Republicans have gotten by for four 1/4 years without having to do much for the religious right except the partial birth abortion bill (which would be settled law if they hadn't deliberately left out the health of the mother language to force the issue into court for a long drawn out battle).
This fight was bound to happen sooner or later. Goodhair v. KBH (v. Keaton-McClellan-Rylander-Strayhorn?) is just one incarnation. Ya'll have a lot of people in your camp that can't stand each other.
