Corruption on Both Sides

The Recovering Democrat has some thoughts on DeLay and corruption in general:

According to the Oxford Press, many Democrats are warning Dean to tone down his rhetoric, lest the Democrats come under investigation as well...

Too late, Senate Minority Leader Reid is in the crosshairs now:

WASHINGTON -- The money that led to the indictment this week of two Las Vegas pastors and the wife of one of them came from federal grants arranged by Sen. Harry Reid in September 2001, a Reid spokeswoman said Wednesday.

Moving to distance Reid from a possible scandal, aide Tessa Hafen said the senator sought the money on behalf of a nonprofit social services agency and not for the churches or persons who have been accused of mishandling the money.

Let's see if Reid steps down from his leadership position as DeLay did. I highly doubt it.

I expect that if Reid is indicted he will step away from his leadership position. I think an indictment there is unlikely, however.

I don't think a Republican will get very far claiming that a leader should step asside just because they are being investigated, the investigation into DeLay has been going on for a long time after all.
