WASHINGTON (AP) - Former House Majority Leader Tom DeLay, with his career in elective office behind him, said Thursday he has a deal to publish a book.

"This is a book that's going to be the history of my career, how it furthered the conservative cause, with my spiritual walk and what I think the conservative cause ought to do next," DeLay, a born-again Christian, told The Associated Press.

DeLay said he'll explain how "everything I've done in my career furthered the conservative cause" and helped change the culture of Washington.

DeLay said the working title is "No Retreat, No Surrender: The American Passion of Tom DeLay." He declined to reveal how much he'll be paid. "Not as much as I wanted," he quipped.

18. I like all the suggested titles, but you just know it's going to be...
Some really sickening Bible reference, or some other christian analogy, like McCain's "Faith of Our Fathers".

I'll laugh if it is some martyrdom reference, and so will most people, left and right (except his fans).
