[goodboy]

WTF???

10-21) 09:04 PDT Austin, Texas (AP) --

Rep. Tom DeLay appeared in court Friday for the first time since his indictment, but his arraignment on conspiracy and money laundering charges was delayed pending a hearing on his request for a new judge in the politically charged case.


DeLay's lawyer is a Dem
By Alexander Bolton

To help clear his name and regain his standing in the House Republican leadership, former Majority Leader Tom DeLay (Texas) has turned to a longtime Democrat who has contributed to his political opponents.

Dick DeGuerin will defend DeLay as lead council and lead trial lawyer against charges of conspiracy and money laundering brought by Travis County, Texas, District Attorney Ronnie Earle.

1. Poor Tom, it's all a missunderstanding;

Don't they know that screwing people out of money is what made the GOP great.

god bless him:sarcasm:

[goodboy]

4. I misunderestimated him, and I is sorry. (nt)

[Dangerously Amused]

2. The guy has to at least CLAIM to be a Democrat...

...'cuz everybody knows that all the really GOOD lawyers are Democrats!!

[goodboy]

5. He'll be a dem, when the pope turns protestant. (nt)

[Dangerously Amused]

7. .

What I'm sayin is, is everybody knows all the smart folks is Dems. So's if you go around braggin on yerself as a 'publican LAWYER, well boy howdy... you'd never get any clients at ALL, leastaways! So no matter who ya vote fer an' buy off, yer still best off at least SAYIN' yer a Dem.

[goodboy]

8. L-I-B...You learned me reeeel good, You musta made it to the 3rd grade...

yer a jean yus.

[bhuddaboy]

3. Just Say "Tubelcaine" to the Judge

That's all it took to dismiss a court case on one episode of the old NBC show "NewsRadio". Perhaps Tommy Boy has gotten stuck with a judge who never watched that sitcom.

[goodboy]

6. DeLay is a typical arrogant fuck. Even in the face of serious legal

trouble, his arrogance blinds him from the truth.

[bumblebee1]

9. Tom Delay hires a Dem lawyer?

This smacks of a racist hiring a black attorney or an antisemite hiring a Jewish lawyer. both are in effect saying, "See, I don't hate blacks/Jews. I hired one as my defense attorney."

[goodboy]

12. just like Bush* loves black people because he's got Condi. Only thing is

Condi is only black on the outside.

[Mika]

10. Didya notice that the "democrat" lawyer calls it the "democrat" party?

I did.

[goodboy]

11. yup...repuke-speak. they don't want to associate democrats, with

democracy, and the democratic process.
