32 indictments came down today in the investigation of corporate money headed to Republican candidates for office in the great State of Texas. Three of the 32 were top aides in the Delay camp, and many of the others were from companies that donated to the Texans for a Republican Majority. One can only hope that one or more of the indictees rolls over on Delay.
There was a lot of happy dancing in my household tonight.

A Travis County grand jury on Tuesday indicted three top lieutenants of U.S. House Majority Leader Tom DeLay in connection with corporate money raised during the 2002 elections.
Indicted on one count of money laundering were John Colyandro, the executive director of Texans for a Republican Majority Political Action Committee, and Jim Ellis, a former DeLay staff member now head of Americans for a Republican Majority, DeLay's national fund-raising political action committee.

If they boil that ugly wart of a man in steaming Clorox, it will be too mild a penalty. No offense to Texas, but what cesspool do you all grow these people in? We have our share of scumbags up in the Mid Atlantic - lord knows PA/Philly is loaded up with them - but we never seem to create anything on par with the likes of Delay, Rove, et al. Its like these fuckers all snort Lee Atwater's ashes every morning and suck down a shotglass of bull testoserone for lunch. Delay all but goosesteps around the Capitol.
BUT, I must hand it to Tom. Graduating from managing pest controllers to managing the House is a hell of a career jump, so he can't be a fraction as dumb as he looks and sounds. But then again, managing imbeciles like Hastert probably isn't brain surgery. I mean, really... the guy's previous experience was being a fucking wrestling coach. He makes Truman look like a Mensa member. I guess its par for the course... garbage runs, garbage gets elected. If you've half a brain, you can probably get a lot further in the House than most folks would like to admit.
PS: I am not calling out solely GOP Texans as "folks deserving to be hit with a Louisville Slugger". As I recall, the Dems down your way have a rich history of below the belt punches dating back to LBJ's early House campaign where he accused his opponent of fucking pigs. But I gotta admit... I love that accusation. If only Kitty kelly had found some domestic farm animal beastiality in the Bush closet... "And then Jeb told his daughter, 'Listen, the camera's rolling... you either get in front of Sparky and do the scene or you don't get the Xanax! I've only got 20 minutes to get this thing right. Poppy wants his gin and tonic on the veranda, and if I don't make it right, I'll get the belt. You don't want dad to get the belt, do you?" The idea of Jeb getting belted by 41 at their present ages just nauseated me... I must now go...
