Tom Delay, the epitome of the corruption in the Republican Party has been indicted and will be forced to step down as House Majority Leader. Keep in mind, just late last year Republicans tried to change Congress' rule on not being able to serve in a leadership role if indicted and it was the Democrats who forced them to withdraw the change. It doesn't bother republicans to be led by criminals. After all, they're used to it.
Frist is next-then Bush and Cheney after that. Come on 2006!
"A Texas grand jury on Wednesday charged Rep. Tom DeLay and two political associates with conspiracy in a campaign finance scheme, an indictment that likely will force him to step down as House majority leader.
DeLay, 58, also is the center of an ethics swirl in Washington. The 11-term congressman was admonished last year by the House ethics committee on three separate issues and is the center of a political storm this year over lobbyists paying his and other lawmakers' tabs for expensive travel abroad.
Wednesday's indictment stems from a plan DeLay helped set in motion in 2001 to help Republicans win control of the Texas House in the 2002 elections for the first time since Reconstruction.
