BETTER DELAYED THAN NEVER

Hehe... DeLay has been indicted on two new, more serious charges of involvement in money laundering during the 2002 Texas election.

His response? Let's see: he still claims this is nothing but a partisan attempt to smear his reputation; according to him, the charges are manufactured, illegitimate and an "abomination of justice."

While he's busy blaming everyone else instead of realizing that he alone is responsible for the embarrassing situation he's in now, hopefully more indictments will come his way. The quicker the better, since he vowed to continue exercising influence over the House even though he was forced to resign as majority leader.

That he is a megalomaniac, we all know. But last week, on occasion of the first indictment, the White House chief spokesman, Scott McClellan, said that El Presidente still saw DeLay as a "good ally" and as "a leader we have worked closely with to get things done for the American people."

What is El Presidente going to say about DeLay now? Or better yet, what is he going to do about this now? If he's got any brains - wait, if his aides have got any brains - he will distance himself from DeLay but willl reach across party lines to show that he stands for the right thing. I wouldn't put my money on it though...
