Delay Indicted

[dr. freeze]

Freeze, as a SW Houston resident who is all too familiar with this clown, I couldn't agree more.

Delay is the prototypical wheeler-dealer politician who works best from the smoke filled back rooms. There is little question that he indeed is responsible for what he is accused of only he doesn't believe that it should be illegal so he is playing the ?partisan? card. How predictable this is I can not begin to tell you.

The fact is that it was the brand of partisan politics that he and his lackeys were playing that got him into this mess to begin with. Only in the last few years has the Republican Party been in control of the Texas legislature and once in control, they proceeded to redraw the voting boundaries throughout the state so that they were extremely favorable to their own party. Anyone who doubts this need only look at the voting map and try to explain any other reason for the very haphazard manner in which these voting lines meander in and around the poorer and more affluent neighborhoods of the metropolitan areas. Delay was the ghost writer of those new boundaries.

Delay and his cronies have now been caught influencing a number of elections throughout the state by diverting corporate contributions through his ?Political Action Committee? and providing advertising for their preferred candidates that skirted the letter of the law. Delay feels that he is above the laws governing this type of behavior but has now been indicted for it.

Here?s the rub. Delay has major dirt on everyone in Washington and he is the kind of guy who will not hesitate to use it to his advantage. This prosecutor, Ronnie Earl, has no idea about the can of worms he has opened up for himself and I am confident that Delay will absolutely ruin this man?s career as well as the lives of he and his family. It would not surprise me in the least if Ted Kennedy himself came down here to have a talk with Earle in an attempt to have these charges dismissed. Those are the kind of strings that Delay can and will pull if necessary.

agree with what you said but also the boundaries were drawn just as poorly in favor of democrats before Delay gerrymandered them to the republicans liking

Never ceases to amaze me."

Just presenting FACTS Edward--which I know is hard far you to except considering your supposedly in legal profession and still equate pergury and obstruction of justice--as a blowjob--Kinda of like your cohearts Kerry and Edward's speaking about 2 Americas and helping "the little guy" while avoiding half mill in mediacre payments and 0 charitable contributions.

---and on Delay I personally don't think the Squirrel ever thought he could win this--the damage was done with the indictment--if they couldn't get Hilliary and Rosen with all the smoking guns FBI tapes Pauls testimony-written notes by Clinton and Rosen --I don't suspect they stand a chance here. I curious to see how he testifies--wonder if he takes (more attorneys) Bill and Hilliary "ethical" stances of pergury or failing to recall or pleading the 5th some 200+ times.
What say you??If you have no prob with it--- When you do your continuing education classes next year--sign up for the one on ethics--I'll foot the tab.

Saul,

Thought you might be interested in this. It's as off-topic as a Clinton pardons post in a FEMA thread, but saw one of the better Saved By The Bell episodes this morning.

It was the one where Slaters dad, who was in the military, was pushing Slater into going to West Point, but Slater wanted to go to University of Iowa on a wrestling scholarship. His dad made him agree to meeting with a congressman who would pull strings to get him into West Point.

Well, the gang came up with a plan. Since the congressman had never seen Slater before, Zack put a a black wig and went to the meeting pretending to be Slater. He acted like a total whackjob. Jumping up on the desk firing an air machine gun..etc....

When it came out, Slaters dad was ultra pissed and said he was going to 'ship out' two days earlier than planned and as a result would miss Slaters state championship wrestling match.

Slater was very sad. Then, right before the match, his dad comes through the locker room door, along with Zack. You see, Zack had 'talked to' Slaters dad and convinced him to stay in town for the match. As Slaters dad said, 'Zack can be very persuasive.' Indeed, Slaters dad, indeed.

I never saw that one. Thank you for sharing with the class. I can picture everything very clearly. You are a good story teller.

One curious thing about that episode ....there really was no message, was there? If anything the message is simply that if your good enough, you can talk your way out of anything.

Zach was definitely a politician in the making. Already knows how to mind fcuk the military into doing what he wants. Very talented.

Not related to anything at all, but I'm excited about this movie coming out on HBO about this hot young Latin number who swallows drugs and flies into the US. Gets paid big bucks, but her risks her family and freedom. Drug dealers hate freedom. I'm sure there will be some hardcore lessons.

I could see that being a SBTB episode. Zach would talk Screech into swallowing heroin packets. One would leak and Screech would get all loopy on the plane.

Saul- Are you speaking of the movie "Maria Full of Grace"?

Haven't seen it, but have heard good things.
