Tom Delay: A Pattern Continues...

House Republicans Consider Rule Change to Aid DeLay
NPR.ORG

Morning Edition, November 17, 2004   House Republicans vote in a closed session Wednesday on whether to make rules changes that could shield Majority Leader Tom DeLay. A Texas grand jury has indicted several members of DeLay's staff on criminal charges related to campaign finances. A rule change could keep DeLay in his post if he were indicted.

Note: Recall the last several House Speakers or Majority Leaders: Delay, Hastert, Armey, Gingrich, Gephardt, Foley, Wright, O'Neil, Boggs, Albert, McCormack, Halleck, Rayburn. Which ones were accused of criminal wrongdoing? Which were censured by the House? Which were from Texas? Which could plausibly be considered a political moderate? Yeah...
