If you get caught for doing something wrong ... Change the rules!
Republican Majority Leader Tom DeLay has come under some scrutiny for some of his creative fund raising tactics, so much so that grand jurors indicted three DeLay associates and eight corporations in an investigation of corporate contributions to a political action committee associated with DeLay. It is possible that DeLay himself may be indicted.
Not to fear ... The Republican lead house is about to adopt a new rule that states a felony indictment should not prevent anyone from serving in the House leadership.
The Republican leadership also feels the current Republican House Ethics committee chair has been working much to hard ... Considering he co-authored two admonishments of Majority Leader Delay .... So they are looking to replace Rep. Joel Hefley with someone more ... Oh lets just say ... Agreeable.
