For some reason, this bogus indictment against Delay, (which according to Brian Wilson, won't be "settled" until after next year's elections), makes me worried about what might come down re: the Valerie Plame investigation...
We KNOW that there are people that would rather get ROVE out of the way than Bush even....
If all it takes to get an indictment on "conspiracy" is vague innuendo....then I don't doubt they could do that to anyone, any time of the day....
I think that case is supposed to be "finished" in October....
Interesting observation, but Rove is a political appointment, not an elected officeholder. He would NOT have to step down. House rules force DeLay.
Brian W. is correct about this not getting settled until after the 06 elections, I heard that from Tom Sullivan subbing for Rush.
But I don't have the concerns about Plame. Just miffed at the not-very conincidental timing of this action against Delay, before the elections.
Still, the RATS won't make any big strides at election time. It takes ideas to win elections and they have zip.
