Delay Indicted...

Tom DeLay was indicted by a Texas grand jury today for allegedly funnelling corporate donations to his PAC to the GOP national committee to redistribute to Texas GOP candidates. This would be a violation of Texas law, as corporate money can't be used directly by candidates, only to cover admin expenses.

TD has stepped down from his leadership position while he awaits trial on the charges, though he'll still be a member of congress.

It's really too bad that Pres. Bush and Denny Hastert didn't have the guts to force him out when this stuff first surfaced. While he's been a good party guy, the fact is the Prez and Speaker should have, for the good of the party, forced him to step down from his power position over a year ago.
