House Majority Leader Tom DeLay indicted on one count of criminal conspiracy by Texas grand jury, according to Travis County clerk's office.
You obviously know nothing about Texas politics or Travis County (peoples republic of Austin) District A$$hole Attorney Ronnie Earle.
Nothing surprises me here anymore. Nothing is as it seems.

They're going fast!
Most in the southwest are well aware of Mr. Dreier.
FOX News is saying he is stepping down. Admission of guilt?
Good lord this not good for my party.
With all due respect, TD should have seen this one coming a mile away. Who will be his replacement?
A big spending, pork loving, spinless, weanie Republican, if you want to be totally accurate.
I do not like being called a fool, and as for voting for someone. That is my choice. I will not vote of any politico who is under such a cloud. I hope he calls for a speedy trial and is vindicated, but until then he needs to step down and deal with this matter.
this the same partisan lunatic texas prosecutor that does this nusance indictments all the time.
The man should be disbarred if so.
The http://www.texasbar.com page has the official site for filing a bar complaint about the prosecutor!

He should not be allowed to use his office for this type of Partisan BS. He is one person that no longer needs to be a lawyer.
" When they started to amend the rule to allow members to retain their position through the course of due process so that politically motivated indictments would not topple leaders, the democrats and the media of course decried such a scandalous rule change. Of course they never bothered to mention that this type of indictment would not affect a democrat since the democrats have no such ethics rules against themselves"
Time to demand that the Dems adopt the EXACT same rule.
ACU rating of 92. I can live with that.
"Denny needs to have his head examined"
Agree.
It has to make one wonder what the hell is going on.
(Denny Crane: "Sometimes you can only look for answers from God and failing that... and Fox News".)
We all saw this coming .. Earle has a history
Why? How do we know who holds the most sway with the GOP House members? It just might be Drier. I'd love to know who DeLay would choose. Again, that person might be Drier.
No. It is not. It's simply following the GOP House leadership rules. IIRC the Democrats never put themselves under such a rule.
I am surprised Helen Thomas was able to control herself at the press conference.
It is truly amazing how many of the "Conservative Establishment" who claim to Ronald Reagan's intellectual grandchildren seem so eager to forget Reagan's 11th Commandment.
Thou shall speak no ill of other Republicans.
They are busy giving credibility to the Hate Bush Left and wonder why they continually lose the political PR wars! It does not show how "smart" they are, quite the opposite in fact. We really are the STUPID party some days.
