Chris Bell, a lameduck Democrat and 3 time loser, was the chump who filed the ethics charge on his way out of office. He did it because he was angry about the redistricting of Texas (but that wasn’t what the ethics charge was about).
Despite the Left’s claim that the redistricting was simply to put more Republicans in Congress, Chris Bell lost his seat to a black Democrat. He’s a closeted bigot.
And prosecuter Ronnie Earle (D) has resigned from the case, if not office.
It was a simple show trial and it accomplished the goal. It ousted Tom Delay from office and it handed Congressional leadership to the Democrats over a bogus charge of “a vast culture of corruption in the GOP that extends all the way to the top of the party”.
Pelosi promised us the most ethical congress in history. Fell far short of that.
I had been wondering what happened to Tom DeLay’s court stuff ...is anything still pending?
