She's still in her position. The Democrats are the real party of corruption, which is why they won't adopt the same rules the Republicans operate under. But to true believers like Andrew, the important thing was to get Delay out, on a manufactured charge, as he was effective, and for revenge for the redistricting of Texas. The politics of personal destruction, honed to a fine art by cynical Democrats.
