DeLay won't be indicted

From the Daily Kos:

A source close to the investigataion says it won't happen, and the reason is a technicality. Earle's jursidiction on election law violations extends only to the Travis County borders, and DeLay's home base is outside of Houston. DeLay would have to be investigated and indicted by the Fort Bend County DA. And given that he is a Republican, it ain't gonna happen.

Well, that sucks. It's not surprising, but it sucks. Meanwhile, the House Ethics Committee still seems to be deadlocked on dealing with DeLay, so I don't expect much there, either. The good thing is that we can, according to Kos, "expect an avalanche of indictments" of DeLay associates soon. Hopefully, such a stink will turn into enough Democratic votes in Sugarland to unseat the slimy Lizard King in November of '06. Maybe it will even set a fire under the collective GOP rump of the Ethics Committee such that they will feel forced to do something about their dear leader.

Look, I'm trying to be optimistic, okay?
