WASHINGTON (Reuters) - About two dozen Republicans have promised to sign a petition calling for elections to permanently replace Rep. Tom DeLay as majority leader in the U.S. House of Representatives, aides said on Friday.

"We have commitments for about 25 signatures. The letter calls for a leadership election for a permanent majority leader," said Matthew Specht, a spokesman for Rep. Jeff Flake, a conservative Arizona Republican.

Fifty House Republican signatures are needed to call elections, which would occur after the House reconvenes on January 31.

A source close to House Republicans, who asked not to be identified, told Reuters that the signatures were being collected from conservative and moderate Republicans. The source said Rep. Charles Bass, a New Hampshire moderate, was working closely with Flake.

Bush says DeLay is "doin' a heck of a job" and Cheney went down to raise money for him.

hahahah!

As Tom Delay awoke one morning from uneasy dreams he found himself transformed in his bed into a gigantic insect. He was lying on his hard, as it were armor-plated, back and when he lifted his head a little he could see his domelike brown belly divided into stiff arched segments on top of which the bed quilt could hardly keep in position and was about to slide off completely.

What had happened to me? he thought. It was no dream.

Now that poses quite a question, doesn't it?

...will tip the whole exercise to a call to dump the toxic bastard by acclamation.

I suspect it is a done deal already--people are just playing it coy for as long as they can get away with it.

The only question is who gets the nod to succeed the bum.

That would be a full-out mutiny.

Pass the popcorn.
