Delay is in a district that I think is one of the most expensive in the country. His democratic challenger had more money on hand as of last reports than DeLay. Quite extraordinary.

Maybe he dropped out to funnel whatever money he has left to his legal defense fund. He's gonna need a lot of bucks there.

He is allowed to use campaign funds for legal defense. But in the unlikely event his coffers run dry, he'd have no problem starting a separate legal defense fund and filling it up easily, as Lewis Libby has done.

Delay's got a fund now. Has had one for quite some time.

You can't go up against the House Ethics Committee multiple times lawyerless, for god's sake! He even got censured by his own House, didn't he?

And of course that pesky indictment down in Texas that is so bogus that the judge refused to throw out. He must be a "lefty."

A clear case of judicial activism.

With all the perks given to former members of Congress, I cannot in any way feel the least bit sorry for him. We should all have such retirement programs.

Of course the Democrooks are not anything like this either are they?

People living in glass houses should not throw stones my friend...

Huh???

HUH? Did not understand?

Let me "susplain it to you"...

There are just as many crooks and shady people in the Democrook party as there is in the Repubs!

Explain Sandy Bergers theft of classified materials (if you can) from a secure govt facility, then being given a slap on the wrist.

They all are dirty, lets get rid of all of them and start over. Two term limit and then you are out of govt, period. These jerks who make it their lifes calling (with the massive retirement that we do not get BTW) need to get thrown out.

Understand it now?

Don't forget this one.

Six Hill Aides Subpoenaed In Jefferson Investigation

Associated Press
Friday, March 31, 2006; A12



A U.S. District Court has issued grand jury subpoenas to six aides to Rep. William J. Jefferson (D-La.) who has been implicated in a bribery case.

In statements read on the House floor yesterday, the aides notified House Speaker J. Dennis Hastert (R-Ill.) that they had been served with subpoenas for testimony issued by the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia.

The court, located in Alexandria, Va., is set to hand down a sentence to Brett Pfeffer, a former aide to Jefferson. Pfeffer pleaded guilty in January to aiding and abetting bribery of a public official and conspiracy. He faces as much as 20 years in prison.

Pfeffer, 37, said a congressman demanded bribes in exchange for his assistance in brokering two African telecommunications deals. Court documents make clear that Jefferson is the accused congressman without naming him.

Jefferson has not been charged with a crime and has denied the allegation, saying he has never demanded or accepted anything to perform a service for which he was elected.

The six staff members -- a district manager, a legislative assistant and four congressional aides -- said in their statements that they had consulted with the Office of General Counsel and determined that compliance with the subpoena "is consistent with the precedents and privileges of the House."

On April 7, the committee requested approval from the Justice Department to speak to Chung regarding his illegal fund raising and his links to Chinese military intelligence. The Justice Department has approved this request and has placed no limitations on his testimony.

The Clintons skated

Huh about the glass house / stone thing, Joe. I get the impression that you mistaken believe that I'm a Dem. Sorry, but not likely. But, I am most definately NOT a neo-con.

How about that Boss Tweed guy? Man, was he corrupt! (what were we talking about again?)

And who can forget President Ulysses S. Grant? That dude was corrupt and incompetent!

The more I think about it, the more I realize that Delay abusing his office for personal gain is no biggie. Not with Boss Tweed and Grant and Sandy Berger to think about :rolleyes:

One down. Five hundred and thirty four left to go, IMO.

I love how you just make things up, it's cute:)

Or maybe you're the only one that knows what personal gain he realized?

yea daddy, I'm the only one that knows what a sleazeball Delay is

Don't worry, another Repub will come along to exploit you, while pretending to give voice to the angry white male dwelling inside your heart.

In the meantime, just tune into Rush, and search the net for sexy pics of Ann Coulter. You'll be fine :)

Nothing compared to Clinton...not even close...in fact Delay's alleged (by a partisan hack) indiscretions were nothing less than common operating procedures in D.C.

So are you even going to try to explain your claim then?
