Tom DeLay was indicted today. No suprise there: The Republicans saw it coming as far back as a year ago when they tried to change their own ethics rules so that DeLay would not have to step down once he was indicted. Public opinion made them reverse themselves.
Tom DeLay was admonished by the Congressional Ethics Committee three times last year.
The conservative press may be right: There isn't really an airtight case against DeLay, but as one of the top politicians in the country, you are a doofus if you get involved in anything where, after the fact, people are able to say, "Well he didn't really break the law... as far as I can tell."
I'm a pragmatist: You've reached the top, Tom. You've got the juice. You're the boss. Think about yourself! Don't do stupid (possibly/probably illegal) stuff that is going to endanger that. Geez. First Frist and Rove, and now DeLay.
