Cleaning Up Congress With No DeLay

At last, some good news! Finally, a glimmer of hope that, just maybe, the Republican Party will be held accountable for its complete lack of ethics.

From AMERICAblog:

A Travis County grand jury today indicted U.S. House Majority Leader Tom DeLay on one count of criminal conspiracy, jeopardizing the Sugar Land Republican's leadership role as the second most powerful Texan in Washington, D.C.

The charge, a state jail felony punishable by up to two years incarceration, stems from his role with his political committee, Texans for a Republican Majority, a now-defunct organization that already had been indicted on charges of illegally using corporate money during the 2002 legislative elections.


As a liberal, it's been a long time since I've had some good news about Washington politics. Hopefully this is only the beginning.

Karl Rove and Bill Frist should be awfully nervous right about now!
