WTF Is It Now?!?

As if.
I really don't believe anything'll come of this, but FWIW, Tom 'Bugsy' DeLay is under investigation, sort of:

AUSTIN, Texas — Authorities are conducting a criminal investigation into whether corporate money, including hundreds of thousands of dollars linked to U.S. House Majority Leader Tom DeLay, improperly financed the Republican Party's takeover of the Texas Capitol.

Sources close to the investigation said that as many as 20 people, including several of Austin's power brokers, have appeared before two grand juries as prosecutors push for indictments. Most, including Hammond, have retained criminal lawyers. The sources said at least two people, including the former director of Texans for a Republican Majority, John Colyandro, have been granted limited immunity in exchange for testimony.

If the Republican activists behind the financing in Texas were vindicated, and they say they will be, they have suggested that similar arrangements could, and should, be used in local elections everywhere.

And in a somewhat related story, Texas Rep. Ralph Hall switched parties Friday night, filing for re-election as a Republican.

"I've always said that if being a Democrat hurt my district I would switch or I would resign," Hall said. He said GOP leaders had recently refused to place money for his district in a spending bill and "the only reason I was given was I was a Democrat."
