Bush's Flip Flops

He doesn't wear them on his feet. Remember how the White House refuses to comment on the Plamegate saga because the investigation is on-going? I suppose the same rules don't apply when it's your good buddy Tom "Gerrymander" Delay. According to Scotty the Mouthpiece, flip-flopping is a Presidential perogative. So here's the story on Delay.

It's illegal to use corporate donations in Texas elections. Delay through TRMPAC garnered $190,000 in corporate donations, sent them to the Republican National Committee and got back an equal amount of money. Sounds like money laundering but so far Delay's best defense is that the money was exchanged in the form of checks, not funds. Apparently his checkbook doesn't have the same limitations as mine. At least the judge laughed that argument out of court. I hope this trial goes on for a long time because right now, Delay is getting the punishment most suited for the crime. He's been reduced to relative irrelevance.

He's facing five years to life in prison, a shining example of the culture of corruption that is Republican Washington. Bush, of course, is supporting him, a shining example of the integrity of our Prevaricator in Chief who, when it's to his advantage, won't comment on an on-going investigation.
