At last.
Representative Tom DeLay of Texas, the powerful House Republican majority leader, was accused by a Texas grand jury today of criminal conspiracy in a campaign fund-raising scheme.

Mr. DeLay was indicted on one count charging that he violated state election laws in September 2002. Two political associates, John D. Colyandro and James W. Ellis, were indicted with him.

[...]

"I have done nothing wrong," Mr. DeLay said, adding that he had violated "no law, no regulation, no rule of the House."

Oh, I wouldn't exactly say that. Good riddance.

UPDATE
DeLay's response in Windows Media and Quicktime. He even talks about "hard work" and a "war to win." Sounds vaguely familiar.
