It is a sad day in America where, before there is even a trail, a man like Tom Delay (R-Texas) is forced to give up being the House Majority Leader as the witch hunt goes on with this Jack Ambramoff "scandal"
The fact is that the Travis County District Attorney, Ronnie Earle, has had to do some behind the door shenanigans to get any charges filed against Mr. Delay in the first place. You know, if at first you don't succeed in getting one grand jury to indict, you just keep going like the Energizer bunny until you find one.
Now it is down to one very hard to prove charge of essentially money laundering.
I mean, Ronnie has got to keep us safe from the EVIL of Tom Delay. I wonder if Mr Earle is this worked up over people who actually commit crimes.
Lets put all the cards out on the table. Mr. Earle is a partisan Democrat as Mr. Delay is a partisan Republican. They don't like each other. Mr. Delay is actually successful at what he does. And what has Mr. Delay done? He has pursued and enacted the Republican, and in this case, President Bush's agenda.
That is not good.
Hence, Mr Earle has got to be thinking that there is something wrong with that, hence he has pursued getting Mr. Delay since he became the House Majority Leader.
Now, he does have something, potentially, that may go to trial and a jury may have to decide.
Thus this is why many nervous Republicans are throwing Mr. Delay overboard and, decent man that he is, saw the handwriting on the wall and quit as Majority Leader, setting the stage for elections later this month.
I guess that this is how succes is now rewarded in America in 2006.
