If it's not one thing...

Tom DeLay, fresh from indictment for conspiracy, now gets a second whammy for money laundering.

One count of the new indictment accuses DeLay of conspiracy to commit money-laundering. It says he agreed with one or more associates to launder $190,000 in corporate contributions through an arm of the Republican National Committee in Washington, allowing the funds to be passed illegally into the election campaigns of Republican candidates in Texas. Texas law prohibits the use of corporate money in political campaigns.

That's starting to sound like serious business!

Update: see this for more analytic speculation about how DeLay's lawyer may have miscalculated (although I've seen elsewhere that Earle had this charge queued up long before the motion was filed).
