1. From the NY Times story:

“This is an abuse of power,” he said. “It’s a miscarriage of justice. I still maintain my innocence. The criminalization of politics undermines our very system.”

This gets a bit strange---Delay thinks getting charged with crimes while in office is "criminalizing" politics? Seems to me committing crimes while in office would be "criminalizing politics." How Orwellian.

11. victim, always the victim ...

when they get caught ...

it is perverse and it has spread like a virus into our society ...

modern "conservatism" has so tragically damaged our soul as a country in so many ways, not the least has been the absolute rejection of personal responsibility ...

honor, gotta be kidding ...

2. So who wiped that asinine grin off his face?

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

[donco6]

3. Wow. Five years and he looks like he's aged 20.

Or maybe the evil is just leaking through the packaging.

4. Thanksgiving a day early

But about 20 years too late.

8. So wonderful to see that smile wiped off his evil face

Too bad he can't get the death penalty.

[femrap]

12. He could get Life....

[nadinbrzezinski]

13. How long before he finds Jesus?

[NoPasaran]

16. He found him years ago, he claims

Word on the street is Jesus isn't taking his calls.

[billlll]

15. bugspray guy? i not sure i recall his past

Remind me pls

20 years in the "general population" would really age him.

[tblue37]

18. But the damage he did to our political culture and our society

is probably irreversible, especially since the Repub majoritey and the stolen 2000 & 2004 elections led to a SC that gave corporations the financial keys to our elections.

[loudsue]

19. Is he the sacrificial lamb that was bush/rove/cheney/rumsfeld's get out of jail free card?

Was a deal made that they could have Delay if they left everyone else in the bush inner-gang alone?

[Vinnie From Indy]

20. That is certainly a very plausible scenario.

BushCo operates no different than the mob. One thing both have in common is that there is ALWAYS a large group of people that are allowed to play & profit at the margins until they become a threat or are more valuable as a trade or dead. They are assets. They are the "expendables" and the vast majority of this group has no understanding of their true position in the structure until it is far too late.

I favor the notion that the "Bugman" was useful until he wasn't and that he was left to twist in the wind. Also, he was a very sloppy criminal.

[glinda]

21. and he was promised that they would look after him....not
