DeLayed at Birth

I'm posting this here, instead of over at Power-Lines, since DeLay, like many Republican crooks, really gets my back up, and illustrates what's wrong with powerful politicians in today's age. Namely, they're predominantly scheming, arrogant assholes (at least in my opinion). I know there are many politicians out there who are actually fairly decent family people, who think well of the common man, but the sad thing is, they never get elected, so that's neither here nor there.

So anyway, DeLay is indicted, on a charge of conspiracy. Aye, that's generally what happens when you get charged, you get pulled in. But he's essentially calling the whole charge "weak." It's a pretty serious charge there Tom, and I don't think it's wise to call your opposing lawyer a "liberal fanatic." When you break the law, you get pulled in. There's nothing partisan about it. Unless, of course, you're a conservative nut who thinks that everything that's bad that happens is the fault of liberals, liberal bias, and the "liberal media."

As part of that "liberal media," I must say that it's not just conservatives who get the mud slinging. I should introduce DeLay to Chretien someday, and see what happens.

Arrggg... it just pisses me off. Justice is only for the common man. When someone powerful goes on trial, they are either pardoned, discharged, or promoted.

It's like running afoul of the law is grounds for promotion. I could only wish that was the case, but sadly, I have to obey the law and a code of ethics.

Neither of which seem to bother politicians in the least. Anything is fair game, as long as you don't get caught. And if you do get caught, just deny it until nobody cares.
