They Got...Scooter!?

The Economist sums up:

"Mr DeLay’s indictment is not the only ethical problem hampering the Republicans. Bill Frist, the Senate majority leader, is being investigated about a stock sale he insists involved no inside information. Karl Rove, President George Bush’s chief strategist, is fighting accusations that he leaked the name of Valerie Plame, an undercover CIA agent (see Rove profile). On Thursday, the vice-president's influential chief of staff, Lewis “Scooter” Libby, was revealed also to have told a reporter that Ms Plame worked for the CIA. And Mr DeLay’s problems are not limited to Texas: a lobbyist chum of his, Jack Abramoff, has been accused of a variety of dodgy doings involving Indian casinos and influence-peddling. The administration's seemingly endless corruption, coupled with its singularly incompetent governing, means its future is likely to be much like its present, marked by shame, dishonor, ignominy and disgrace."

OK, I made that last part up.

I guess from now on Scooter'll be ratting out federal agents up at the Statesville prison.
