Does It Take an Indictment?

Our esteemed opinion editors seem to think four admonishments by the House ethics committee (three in the past weeks and another about a year ago - they don't even have the count right!) to Tom "the hammer" DeLay are not important - we should wait until there is an indictment to decide whether DeLay has done anything that reflects badly on congress or himself. They pass off the admonishments (the editors used the word "alleged" - I don't think the committee would have made their decision on an allegation!) as "dings" and the public should wait to see if "he is guilty of anything more substantial!" Come on boys, how far right can you get!
