1. Teflon Tom!

[don954]

8. you know the problem with Teflon?

if you put it under too big of a fire, it burns, the fumes are toxic, and anything can stick to the residue...

[brettdale]

2. IT MUST BE BAD FOR DELAY

Otherwise his lawyer wouldnt be yabbling to the media.

[napi21]

3. YOu beat me to the post! I'e been thinking about Dean all day and

how happy he must be that his comments of months ago seem to be coming true! I can't wait to hear Dean's comments tonight!!!

Seems like almost all the comments that Dean has been slammed for are coming true.

[gratuitous]

4. DeLay's lawyer? Not Tommy himself?

For an innocent man hounded by groundless, baseless allegations, you'd think he'd want to present his case personally rather than hide behind the screen of his hired mouthpiece. Those Republicans! Always wanting to strip everyone else of legal representation, but they're the first ones to lawyer up at the first sign of trouble.

6. They can't afford to have him get riled and say something stupid.

I mean stupider.

[nadinbrzezinski]

5. I am the Government

ML Tom Delay


Well Tom, you are not the government, we are... and bout bloody time you do your perp walk...

Damn I will have to actually watch nightline tonight

[cynatnite]

7. Lawyer says they want a trial right away n/t

[don954]

9. um, this guy is as big as a lier as Tom

NO corp money went to any canadate in Texas...!??? THEY HAVE THE CANCLED CHECK!!!! $%^@$%

[speedoo]

11. If that's DeLay's defense, he is toast.

The corporate money went from TRMPAC to the national rethug committee. DeLay's lawyer is arguing that yes, the national rethug committee sent money back to Texas, but it was different money.

Uh huh.

[nadinbrzezinski]

14. Oh god this is funny

does the lawyer know the term, money laundering? Just asking

[thefloyd]

16. How in the world

can Delay and Company state Corporate donations funneled to RNC back to Texas is not the same money? Maybe not Physically.

[stepnw1f]

15. Power of Suggestion or...

putting on an image of innocence. Perception is everything. Too bad that tactic is getting old.

[seabeyond]

19. lay of enron said the same. has the trial happened yet?

repug bullshit

[cynatnite]

10. Lawyer says none of that money came back to Texas

He said it went to other states that allow corporate contributions. I'm wondering how he knows this or what the repukes are doing to cover their asses.

[halobeam]

18. And it's the cover up that gets them all the time....

beautiful!.. Let them try.

[Autonomy]

12. They laundered money through DC

but none of "that" money was sent back to Texas. How do they know? Because they drew little horns and mustache on Ben Franklin on each of the bills they sent.

[cynatnite]

13. Howard Dean on now n/t

[patricia92243]

22. Don't have TV. Be sure to post what he says. My hero comes through again

:) :) :)

[cynatnite]

24. I bet the video clip will be up before long...tomorrow probably

check www.crooksandliars.com later. It'll probably wind up there.

He was awesome, as usual. :)

[cynatnite]

17. Dean lays out the entire culture of corruption in the regime...

'where there's smoke, there's fire', he says.

[thefloyd]

20. Jesus

I like Dean but cmon no god damn Cliches

[cynatnite]

21. He knows it'll resonate better n/t

[berni_mccoy]

23. Dean did an excellent job

Handling the question "Is this good for the Democrats"

His answer was (paraphrasing) "No, it's not good for the country. We've been embarrassed by the blunder in Iraq, we've been embarrassed by the Katrina response and now we have to be embarrassed with this serious case of corruption... this isn't Tom Delay's first, second or third time he's been in trouble, it's his FOURTH and in each time, his peers in Congress have found him guilty. Americans are sick of the pattern of corruption and when we get back power in 2006, we're going to fix some serious problems with the rules of politics..."
