DeLay Update

I have a feeling I'm going to be talking about this a lot. In any case, stories are coming out.

DeLay's attorney Steve Brittain said DeLay was accused of a criminal conspiracy along with two associates, John Colyandro, former executive director of a Texas political action committee formed by DeLay, and Jim Ellis, who heads DeLay's national political committee.

"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," DeLay said.

Those annoying rules, eh Tom? You're the Hammer; why don't you just eliminate ethics rules?

Oh yeah...
