"Tom DeLay has a new nickname, Representative #2."
Former DeLay Aide Pleads Guilty
Paul Kiel notes:
Three main observations:
1) I'm not sure there are room for any more nails in Bob Ney's coffin, but if there were, Tony Rudy's plea squeezes them in there.
2) The plea does mention DeLay, but it seems like he's not going to serve up DeLay to prosecutors on a silver platter.
3) The plea doesn't mention Ed Buckham at all.
