And from the other corner: House Republicans try to change the subject.
House Republicans are planning to renew their offensive today against the Democrats to offset the bad press suffered recently by Majority Leader Tom DeLay (R-Texas).
The GOP leaders are planning a series of press events to shift the focus from DeLay to their agenda for the next seven weeks, which includes passing bankruptcy-reform legislation and an energy bill and permanently repealing the estate tax.
The GOP is also expected to attack Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) and House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) by questioning their commitment to passing a comprehensive energy bill despite rising gasoline prices.
The estate-tax bill is scheduled for a vote this week and is widely expected to pass.
The GOP’s counterattack today is intended to begin a coordinated House Republican effort to deflect negative reports about DeLay.
