WASHINGTON (AP) -- A Texas grand jury on Wednesday charged Rep. Tom DeLay and two political associates with conspiracy in a campaign finance scheme, forcing the House majority leader to temporarily relinquish his post.
DeLay, 58, was accused of a criminal conspiracy along with two associates, John Colyandro, former executive director of a Texas political action committee formed by DeLay, and Jim Ellis, who heads DeLay's national political committee.
CNN actually has the 4-page indictment posted on their webpage. Its pretty staggering to see all of the companies that could get hell for being part of the scandal. I hope that C-SPAN broadcasts a roast of DeLay similar to Brown's yesterday. If you haven't, GET THE TRANSCRIPT...its fucking hilarious to watch Republicans pick apart Brown on the stand.
Grr...lack of a memestreams bookmarklet is compelling me to include the link here instead of the title.
-janelane, damning Texas Republicans since 2000.
At least he immediately is stepping down. I've never seena democrat do this (most republicans won't either). Bill Clinton being the worst - lying to a judge, then on national tv to the American people, then finishing out his term. I guess Delay gets some respect from me, moreso then BJ Clinton - although that doesn't say much.
