"Tom DeLay, the former majority leader of the US House of Representatives indicted on money laundering and conspiracy charges, has been ordered to surrender to Texas authorities. To spare him the embarrassment of being searched and fingerprinted in front of the media , the terms of the summons allow him to surrender on home ground at Fort Bend County and at a time of his choice."

you know what this reminds me of? that episode of chappelle show

the police bust into the bedroom of a wealthy white businessman, shoot his dog and harass his wife. Across town, the police chief politely phones the local black crack dealer with a warrant for his arrest and asks him to schedule a time to turn himself in. In the interrogation room, a detective burns the white man's forehead with a cigarette butt while the black man sits in a plush conference room avoiding questions. The reverse parallels continue to trial, where the white man is railroaded and convicted but the brotha, surprisingly, is not.

Its a disgrace that he would not take his congressional pin off

fucking disgrace

10/20/2005 5:29:43 PM

An accurate summation of politics.

10/20/2005 6:22:34 PM

he probably didn't take his pin off because he considers the exploitation of the legal system to further the partisan goals of the democratic party to be a bit of a disgrace.

goes both ways

10/20/2005 6:27:35 PM

welp, i'm as angry as i can possibly be about this. good job, gop, you handled this very well.

delay's lawyer is either a liar or doesn't check his facts

http://thinkprogress.org/2005/10/21/delay-lawyer-smears-moveon/

Tom DeLay’s attorney, Dick DeGuerin, claims that the judge presiding over DeLay’s criminal case in Texas, Bob Perkins, should be disqualified. A central part of his claim is that an organization that Perkins has donated to in the past, MoveOn, is selling t-shirts with Tom DeLay’s mug shot:

According to MoveOn’s Washington director Tom Mattzie, this claim is false. Mattzie told ThinkProgress this morning that MoveOn has “never sold any t-shirts with Tom DeLay’s mug shot” on their website or otherwise. You can go to their website and see that he’s right.

"Rep. Tom DeLay failed to comply with House requirements that he disclose all contributions to a defense fund that pays his legal bills, the Texas Republican acknowledged to House officials. He wrote officials that $20,850 contributed in 2000 and 2001 was not reported anywhere. Another $17,300 was included in the defense fund's quarterly report but not in DeLay's 2000 annual financial disclosure report -- a separate requirement. Other donations were understated as totaling $2,800, when the figure should have been $4,450. It was during that period that DeLay was the subject of several House ethics investigations."

Regardless of the politics of the situation:

Tom DeLay is a douchebag. He looks like a douchebag. He acts like one (especially in his rabid press releases). And only a douchebag would smile in a mug shot.

He may be a proud and staunch conservative, but he has a spoiled and effete air. He acts as though his position of power is God's gift to us all, and not an occasion for public modesty.

Fortunately I don't think douchebaggery is a crime in this nation; but perhaps the Republican party should reconsider having this man as a public face. He exudes rabid unseriousness; whatever makes him effective as a legislative "hammer," must multiply his faults in public.

do the innocent, and those who are being targeted by a political scam, usually almost try to get plea bargains?

Quote :

"The last-minute negotiations between the lawyers and Texas prosecutor Ronnie Earle were arranged after DeLay made what Earle considered a seriously damaging admission about his fundraising activities during an Aug. 17 meeting with the prosecutor in Austin. At that session, DeLay acknowledged that in 2002 he was informed about and expressed his support for transfers of $190,000 in mostly corporate funds from his Texas political action committee to an arm of the Republican National Committee in Washington and then back to Texas, according to the sources, who spoke on the condition that they not be named. Those transfers are at the heart of the prosecutor's investigation of the alleged use of corporate funds in the 2002 Texas elections, in violation of state law. In the prosecutor's view, DeLay's admission put him in the middle of a conspiracy not only to violate that law but also to launder money. As disclosed by sources involved with the case, the new details present a more complete picture of the sequence of events leading to the indictment of DeLay at the end of September. They reveal the unusual lengths to which DeLay and his lawyers were willing to go to avoid charges that would force him to leave his powerful post -- and how it was DeLay's own words that ultimately got him in trouble with the prosecutor."
