DeLay Indictment Update - Steps Aside From House Leadership
Hooray and Hallejula!!! Via ReutersHOUSTON (Reuters) - U.S. House Majority Leader Tom DeLay said he would "step aside" from his congressional leadership post following his indictment in Texas on Wednesday on one conspiracy count, his office said. "I have notified the speaker that I will temporarily step aside from my position as majority leader pursuant to rules of the House Republican Conference and the actions of the Travis County District Attorney today," he said in a statement.Well it is about time this guy got his come-uppance. Of course as the saying goes, you can indict a ham sandwich. I realize that he deserves the presumption of innocence, but hopefully the prosecuter has all his ducks in a row, and the charges stick. Let's not forget there is still another grand jury out their and Karl Rove will be the next headline as his indictment is filed. |
