yes, delay has been indicted
Unless you live in a hurricane-ravaged part of the southeastern United States, you've heard by now that (now former) House Majority Leader Tom DeLay has been indicted on charges related to illegal campaign financing that led to gerrymandering.
You can read the whole indictment here, including a scan of the smoking gun check from the Texans for a Republican Majority Political Action Committee to the Republican National Committee. My favorite part is that they didn't redact the checking account number on the check. Of course, those assets will probably be seized before anyone has a chance to commit fraud on TRMPAC's bank account.
My question: how can Jim Kolbe support this corrupt snake oil salesman by voting for him for Majority Leader and with him in 92 out of every 100 House votes?
