Couldn't have happened to a more deserving scumbag. Tom DeLay, who prided himself in his take-no-prisoners style of politics and loved the nickname "The Hammer," may become a prisoner himself after a Texas grand jury indicted him for criminal conspiracy.
That DeLay is a crook comes as no surprise to longtime Washington watchers. The Hammer has always been on the take, for sale to the highest bidder. The surprise came with the indictment.
The bad news, of course, comes on the heels of Senate Leader Bill Frist's problems and the possible pending indictments of White House officials in the Valerie Plame case.
"The chickens are roosting and are ready to feed," chuckles one Democratic stagegist.
Perhaps but an indictment is a long way from conviction. There's no doubt on the hill about DeLay's guilt but there is still doubt on whether or not a Texas prosecutor can prove it.
While I don't agree with your calling Mr. Delay a scumbag, the biggest problem I have is with the quote from the Democratic strategist. He sure as hell doesn't know anythig about chickens. Chickens sleep on the roost and would have a very difficult time eating. No wonder the Donkeys are always losers.
Times are changing Repugnican!!!
