U.S. house majority leader DeLay indicted, steps down temporarily – Wikinews<\/a>
\nU.S House of Representatives majority leader Tom DeLay was indicted today by a Travis County Texas grand jury on conspiracy charges. DeLay announced that he will step down temporarily from his leadership position.<\/p>\n…<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
The Wikinews page<\/a> has a link to the actual indictment<\/a> as well, for those of you who are all about primary sources.<\/p>\n
The NYT also has the story, of course, under the even more makes-me-smile headline “DeLay Is Indicted and Forced to Step Down as Majority Leader<\/a>“.<\/p>\n
I know that the eventual resolution of this will once again crush my soul, but this at least is a moment of hope.<\/p>\n
Of course, even if DeLay<\/a> got what he deserved, that’s just the start<\/a> of the Augean Stable<\/a> job.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
