So Rep. Jeff Flake (AZ) gets the ball rolling to push Rep. Tom DeLay out the door, but he’s unhappy with the chaos he created. Both Flake and his colleague, New Hampshire Rep. Charlie Bass, are now circulating a “Dear Colleague” letter chastising their fellow Republican caucus members for so aggressively endorsing and campaigning for open, or potentially open, positions.
