The Rovegate leak story is running at the top page of a lot of blogs today..rightfully so.

But this little ditty from the Post shouldn't go overlooked:

A Texas state judge yesterday reaffirmed the indictment of a political associate of House Majority Leader Tom DeLay (R-Tex.), turning aside his claim that a state law barring the use of corporate funds in the 2002 Texas election was unconstitutionally vague.

The ruling was the latest of several in Texas courts to run against former officials of Texans for a Republican Majority, which was created by DeLay and his political aides to orchestrate a 2002 takeover of the Texas House. That victory in turn led to a redistricting of Texas congressional seats and helped cement GOP control of the U.S. House of Representatives.

Another link in the chain on the way to a DeLay ethical (if not legal) investigation.

It's important to keep in mind that DeLay is potentially a greater thorn in the Republican side than is Rove. DeLay is the face of the House Republicans. The more they cover for him the deeper the connect between them all.

You lie with pigs...you're gonna stink.
