Roanoke's finest. The Roanoke Times tells it like it is.

Having raised fellow Republicans lots of political campaign money and assigned them choice committee seats, U.S. House Majority Leader Tom DeLay received a nice "thank you" gesture from his colleagues Wednesday.

After three DeLay associates were indicted by a Texas grand jury on charges of election law violations, speculation hinted the majority leader could be indicted, too. A Republican caucus rule requires anyone under federal or state criminal indictment to be removed from leadership positions, so obliging Republicans rescinded the rule about state indictments.

Loyalty's a poor substitute for integrity.

Aww yeah. Rizzle for shizzle on the DeLay dizzle.
