Souder checks the water

The Fort Wayne Journal Gazette:

No one has proven that the No. 2 Republican in the House has done anything unethical or illegal, Rep. Mark Souder, R-3rd, said Wednesday, but "there is widespread nervousness" among Republicans.

"Part is political," (It's the party line - ed.) he said of the allegations against Rep. Tom DeLay, R-Texas, that have dogged the House majority leader for a year. "But the truth is, we’re all reading this stuff and saying: 'Why did you do that? Did you cross the line? Did your staff cross the line?' We don't know."

Nevertheless, "he doesn’t have much more room, even if something isn’t proven," Souder said. "At some point you say, 'What if you can’t move your agenda?'"

I think there's more of this to come.
