DeLay Off the Hook?
By Byron LaMasters
Let's hope not, but that's what CBS is reporting.
Also today...
Alandwilliams takes a look at Tom DeLay's supporters and their political donations.
Meanwhile, Tom of Houston's Clear Thinkers reminds us that 12/15 elected officials prosecuted by Travis County's hyper-uber-partisan D.A. Ronnie Earle were Democrats. But you won't hear that from FOX News.
Meanwhile, Chris Elam joins with Tom DeLay in chiding Chris Bell for being critiqued for technicalities in his complaint after the ethics committee admonished Tom DeLay several months ago. Am I wrong, or was Tom DeLay the one who was admonished here? Is Tom DeLay not the most admonished man in Congress? That is the truth, so I'm sure that any good political consultant would tell him to do one thing. Play the victim. Attack Ronnie Earle. Attack Chris Bell. Now, DeLay wants Chris Bell to pay for his legal fees. As Martin Frost said at Chris Bell's press conference, this is a very unique idea. The idea of loser-pay in civil suits has been around awile. But the idea of winner-pay is quite novel. Chris Bell filed an ethics complaint against Tom DeLay. The ethics committee admonished Tom DeLay. Now, Tom DeLay wants Chris Bell to pay. Huh?

Tom DeLay already made Chris Bell pay. He's about a month away from becoming a private citizen. =)
Its pretty typical that you guys would leech on to a hack like Bell, and promote him so heavily... a man who was defeated 64-33% in a Democratic primary in a Democratic district. =)
But who knows, maybe this "leader" will indeed become the savior of the Texas Democrats. Keep the faith. =)
