Delay said the DA was out to get republicans.

And that's not entirely out of the question; this is the era of the
political full-court press. All partisan attack, all the time. It's
devisive and destructive. If this type of campaigning had been invented
back in the days of Sen. Joe McCarthy, the U.S. would have become a
fascist dictatorship decades ago.

Since the Republicans started it and are the most vigorous and least
fact-driven in their practice of this, it's tempting to say 'let them
reap what they sow.' But frankly I'd rather see the whole mess slow to a
halt.

particular indictment for "getting" Delay, they are ****ing upwind. He
has prosecuted Democrats for doing the same thing using a different

Then there is the movie of his "investigation".

Its not going anywhere.


When the Bush-Cheney Administration has the Supreme Court in it's
pocket, was there any doubt?


Please note that I'm not a Delay fan by any means - I think the guy is
creepy and a double dealer.

They just aren't going to get him this go 'round.

They may not get him at all.

Years ago, a DeLay fund-raiser made a telemarketing call to my home. He
wanted to harangue me about how evil the Clintons are, and how I needed
to send money to fight them (they got my name & phone # from the NRA
membership rolls). I listened politiely while asking enough questions to
pin down the origin of this call, then hung up on him (one of the few
times I've been rude over the phone) and called Sen. Helms office. Delay
got his ears pinned back, but he didn't learn.

He is creepy, a crook, and the last person on this Earth who should have
any political office or authority over free American citizens. His
natural calling would be to work as a prison trusty.
