I'll bet Nancy Pelosi is pissing herself with anxiety over all these Congressmen getting in trouble for bribes and fundraising illegalities - she's one of the biggest grifters out there.

In fact, I'll bet they're ALL freaking about this.

Exactly. You're not hearing much about DeLay these days, because they all openly do what he's accused of - funneling campaign contributions. They can be hypocritical, but they're at least smart enough NOT TO DRAW TOO MUCH ATTENTION to themselves. (Kind of like Newt, during the Monica thing - his own philandering was one of the poorest kept secrets in Washington, and I noticed that he never said a thing about it. I even recall libs saying "hey, what about your guy? Kinda hypocritical, huh?" and I'd answer "find me a quote - he knows he's guilty - it's why he's said NOTHING".)
