Where Credit is Due

Lord knows I’ve been critical of the DLC’ers, but they’re just spot on here:

. . . tempting as it is to dwell on the possibility that this self-appointed moral arbiter of the nation could soon be strolling the halls not of Congress but of a Texas correctional facility, we urge Democrats to keep focused on a much bigger issue: the systemic pattern of corruption, cronyism, influence-peddling, and partisan intimidation in Washington. DeLay is clearly a major ink-spot in that pattern; even if he evades imprisonment on the Texas charges, let’s remember that the object of the fundraising effort in question was The Hammer’s obsessive campaign to launch a re-redistricting of U.S. House seats to buttress his power in the Capitol.

Irrespective of what you think of the nitty-gritty details of some of the DLC’s proposed reforms, the assessment of what DeLay’s indictment really means couldn’t be more accurate.
