Roy Blunt on Delay's criminal behavior: It is "his effectiveness as a leader."

[usregimechange]

From the Houston Chronicle: "A Travis County jury today found former U.S. House Majority Leader Tom DeLay guilty of political money laundering charges relating to a corporate money swap in the 2002 elections. The verdict came down five years after DeLay was forced to step down as the second most powerful Republican in the U.S. House. The charges also led DeLay to resign from his Sugar Land congressional seat in 2006."

For a stroll down memory lane, here's video of Roy Blunt speaking to the press after DeLay's indictment in September 2005. "I think it's fair to say that our members today, while they've expressed great regret that Tom DeLay has had to go through what he's going through right now -- I think, largely because of his effectiveness as a leader, he became a target," Blunt said about the charges that led to today's guilty verdict.

Too bad, so sad. DeLay is guilty as sin, and now the entire world knows it.

4. How long until Blunt joins him in jail?

6. I guess that would make Jim Traficant and Cleveland "felon" Jimmy Dimora

viable Republican/TEA candidates for President ...

9. Well Blunt was just elected here so that might be a possibility

[gratuitous]

7. Am I reading Blunt's comment correctly?

The only way a Republican can be an effective leader is to commit crimes?

[usregimechange]

8. Yep, sounds accurate to me.

10. Blunt spews a turd.

Teabaggers make stew with the gift. Same ole, same ole...

How did we get to this point?
