After Indictments, DeLay Seeks to DeFlect Criticism

AUSTIN, Texas - A grand jury has indicted a political action committee formed by U.S. House Majority Leader Tom DeLay and a Texas business group in connection with 2002 legislative campaign contributions. Neither DeLay, nor any individuals, have been charged with any wrongdoing.

When asked for comment on the indictments, DeLay said, "I think it's premature for me to comment at this time, and on the advice on counsel-- Look! Is that another hurricane?"

Delay then locked himself in a coat closet.
