Will Tom DeLay Go From Dancing With the Stars to Aging Behind Bars?

If God forbid he gets off how close are we to a reality show starring him and Blago?

Or perhaps Austin is one of the few places in the Lone Star State where the prosecution could find 12 men & women smart enough to understand the charges.*

I think a special place in hell is already reserved for the likes of DeLay, Gingrich and Rove, and throw in that debauched little choir boy, Ralph Reed , too.

Please. Do not post pictures of the bugman in an hip thrusting position. Those that see the picture may have their ability to procreate permanently impaired.

DeLay couldn’t get a date in San Francisco on Halloween night.

I watched the documentary ‘Casino Jack and the United States of Money’ for the first time last night. It stars Jack Abramoff, with a performance by Tom DeLay that is worthy of ‘Best Supporting Actor’. I have no doubt that his corrupt support of the sweatshops in the Marianas will earn him a particularly warm spot in hell.

The fact that Delay is only now going to trial proves that ‘justice delayed’ truly is ‘justice denied’.

Michael,
Are you suggesting that only a right-wing part of the state could be impartial? Or are you only saying that ‘it does not seem crazy’ for Delay to attempt to pack the jury box with sympathetic conservatives (who may be partial in Delay’s favor rather than the state’s)?

Maybe Tom’s cell mate will think he’s cute.

Thanks for the laughs guys.

As much as I don’t care for Tom DeLay, doesn’t the timing of this trial seem funny? I mean, right before the Congressional elections to remind people why the Republicans lost the House in 2006? And a Democratic prosecutor (I didn’t even know they had Democratic prosecutors in Texas)?

And the timing is particularly apt, as the trial will start before the election, tarishing DeLay’s name (as if it were more possible) while a verdict is not likely to come after the election, when he is likely to be found “not guilty” (I can’t say “innocent”).

“Maybe Tom’s cell mate will think he’s cute.”

Only if his cellmate is David Patterson.

The facts on the Mariana are so awful it bewilders me why more hasn’t been made of those corrupt politicians and lobbyists who enabled slave labor, prostitution, and forced abortions there. They should all be in jail for that alone. Including Dems who assisted the corruption.

Never heard of Ronnie Earle? It is Delay who has caused postponements on his case.

‘Never heard of Ronnie Earle? It is Delay who has caused postponements on his case.’

While it’s true that Delay’s defense team has been filing every kind of motion imaginable (with the clear intent to slow and possibly stop the process), Earle did a dreadful job with the indictment.

‘And a Democratic prosecutor …?’
.
Before the redistricting Delay engineered (thanks to the use of the illegal campaign money that’s lead to his indictment), it was actually legal to be a Democrat in Texas. Democrats even won elections sometimes.

bobcn1: You are right. Bobbie Earle is one of the reasons Delay was able to “delay”.

Octoscum.
