Pending Indictment for the World's Biggest Asshole?

I'm not holding my breath, however, if DeLay gets indicted and consequently dethroned there's going to be one helluva party at my house!
Conspiracy charge a possibility for DeLay

Travis County grand jury to weigh indicting House leader, lawyers say

U.S. House Majority Leader Tom DeLay's leadership post is on the line today as a Travis County grand jury is expected to consider indicting DeLay on conspiracy charges, several lawyers familiar with the investigation said.

The charges would stem from the DeLay's role in using corporate money in the 2002 elections. State law generally bans corporate money from campaign activities.

"I wouldn't have expected this a year ago," one Austin criminal defense lawyer said. "It's quite a turnaround if it happens."
...
An indictment would not force DeLay to resign as a member of Congress, but the GOP's rules would demand that he resign his post as majority leader.
Now if only Frist gets indicted then we'd have both GOP leaders looking like the sleazebags that we know they are and 2006 could be a "throw the bums out" election...hey, a girl can hope.
