There must be something going around that is causing prominent politicians to step down. In Brazil last week, Severino Cavalcanti, the President of Brazil's lower House of Deputies, resigned his role as President over charges that he accepted bribes related to a restaurant operating in the Congress. Today, Tom DeLay was indicted on conspiracy charges for funneling corporate money in the 2002 elections and forced to temporarily step down as Majority Leader of the U.S. House of Representatives.
Both Mr. Cavalcanti and Mr. DeLay maintain they are innocent. I'm sure they are. They're probably both victims of partisan witch hunts.
