Will a second indictment smash "The Hammer"?

DeLay Indicted AGAIN

The Associate Press is reporting that
Tom DeLay has been indicted AGAIN! What is this, Christmas in October?

Austin, Texas - A Texas grand jury indicted Rep. Tom DeLay on

a new charge of money laundering Monday, less than a week
after another grand jury leveled a conspiracy charge that forced
DeLay to temporarily step down as House majority leader.

Both indictments accuse DeLay and two political associates of
conspiring to get around a state ban on corporate campaign
contributions by funneling the money through a political action
committee to the Republican National Committee in Washington.

The RNC then sent back like amounts to distribute to Texas
candidates in 2002, the indictment alleges.

The new indictment came hours after DeLay's attorneys filed a
request to dismiss the case. That request argued that the
conspiracy charge was based on a law that was not effective
until 2003, the year after the alleged money transfers.

One can only hope that Tom's exit from Congress won't be DeLay(ed) much longer!
