Justice DeLayed

There will be no independent investigation of the unethical (to say the least) activities of House Leader DeLay.

On a party-line vote of 210 to 182, the GOP killed a Democratic bid yesterday for an outside counsel to probe the majority leader.

...''He's always survived incidents that have been spread out one at a time," but after three admonishments in one week by the ethics panel, DeLay is more vulnerable, said Lou Dubose, coauthor of ''The Hammer: Tom DeLay -- God, Money, and the Rise of the Republican Congress."

...Three DeLay associates have been indicted in a Texas criminal investigation into alleged laundering of corporate money to Texas legislative campaigns through TRMPAC, a committee DeLay founded. If Delay, who has not been interviewed in the case, is indicted, he must step down as leader, according to House rules.

So what do you think the chances of that are? Slim to none?
