Grand Jury Indicts PAC Connected to DeLay 12 minutes ago


AUSTIN, Texas - A grand jury has indicted a political action committee formed by U.S. House Majority Leader Tom DeLay and a Texas business group in connection with 2002 legislative campaign contributions.


The five felony indictments against the two groups were made public Thursday. Neither DeLay nor any individuals with the business group has been charged with any wrongdoing.

The charge against Texans for a Republican Majority alleged the committee illegally accepted a political contribution of $100,000 from the Alliance for Quality Nursing Home Care.

Four indictments against the Texas Association of Business include charges of unlawful political advertising, unlawful contributions to a political committee and unlawful expenditures such as those to a graphics company and political candidates.

35% approval is not even close to what I'd call rock bottom.

Let's hope the real bottom is a long way off.

The poor response after Katrina hasn't done much to change this because he's already pretty much at rock bottom.

Then again, I read a while back how in North Korea, some 30% of the population is in on the scam. We could easily have more than that still in on Shrub, despite Katrina, Iraq, etc...
