John McCain’s (R-AZ) CPAC speech yesterday, Huffington Post’s Sam Stein spoke to former House Majority Leader Tom DeLay, who complained that McCain “didn’t address his record.” Asked by Stein “if he himself would run” for president, DeLay replied: “I don’t think somebody who’s indicted ought to run for president.” DeLay, who resigned from Congress in 2006, is currently facing two charges of money laundering and conspiring to launder money.
