More great bad news for Tom DeLay as another former aide pleads guilty to corruption:

Calling his detailed, nine-page account of his crimes a summary, Tony Rudy said, "It does not include all of the facts known to me concerning criminal activity in which I or others engaged."

Rudy admitted that he conspired with convicted lobbyist Jack Abramoff and others to corrupt public officials, and he promised to help the broad federal investigation of bribery and lobbying fraud that already has resulted in three convictions.

Rudy implicates another DeLay aide, Ed Buckham. We look forward to hearing about his guilty plea, too. The Houston Chronicle has more.
