Jack fell down and broke his crown and Tom came tumbling after

Jack cracked and the flank attacks. The rank and file GOP smell blood.

The Hotline has learned from three House sources that at least two-dozen House GOPers spanning the ideological spectrum have agreed to sign a letter to House Conference Chair Deborah Pryce (R-OH) requesting new leadership elections in an effort to block Rep. Tom DeLay from reclaiming his post as Maj Leader. A group of members and staffers held a conference call earlier today and plan to hold a second one later in the afternoon as they seek to obtain the required 50 signatures to force the vote.

Nobody is going to want to be associated with the stink when this mess of rotten eggs cracks open.
