Just to show they’re still on the case, the House Ethics Committee has now rebuked DeLay’s accuser, outgoing Texas Rep. Chris Bell (D-TX). Bell’s charges led to DeLay’s earlier admonishment. But the Ethics Committee is now cracking down on him for using “innuendo and speculative assertions” in levelling his accusations.
Bell was redistricted out of his seat in last year’s DeLay sponsored redistricting power-grab.
