In Travis County, Texas.

Banner on CNN website - "House Majority Leader Tom DeLay indicted on one count of criminal conspiracy by Texas grand jury, according to Travis County clerk's office."

So will Tommy have to step down now under House Republican rules?

Let's hope this starts a chain reaction with Libby, Rove, Frist, Rumsfeld, and Dubya himself.

Well, considering their track record, they'll likely change the rules to convicted because "not everyone who is indicted is guilty, and it is immoral to condemn an innocent man".

I think he's just stepping down while this gets sorted out. Though if this turns out to be a permanent thing, this is one voter you won't hear complaining.

lol, sounds like the person taking over for DeLay, Rep. David Dreier (R-CA), may be gay. That's just icing on the cake!

LAWLS, if you will.

Good to see him gone, I guess.

Sounds like Tommy's blaming on his woes on Democrats again. I guess some things never change...

Turns out the DA has prosecuted more Democrats than Republicans, including himself

Earle even prosecuted himself in 1983, paying a $212 fine for tardy campaign finance disclosure filings.
