The man who would be speaker is probably out on bail by now, pending appeal.
He's probably watching John Boehner on TV, thinking about what could have been.
If only William Rehnquist had knocked off a few years earlier, John Roberts would have been able to turn the country to fascism in time to spare the Hammer.
Oh, well. At least Tom got to murder all those people over in Iraq in the name of Oil. For that, he will forever be loved by the Republican base.
Here's to Tom.

DeLay is out of $10,000 bail. Whether he actually spends even one day in prison will depend on the outcome of his appeal.

He got off cheap with 3 years. Corruption at the level of power and influence held by DeLay should never be that cheap.
I hope his 3 years will be "interesting times" for him.

He'll never serve a day in jail or prison. I'll bet anyone a dinner on it. His conviction will be overturned on appeal. Not necessarily because of any legal issues, but because IOKIYAR.

Former Speaker of the House Dennis Hastert (R-IL) also spoke on DeLay's behalf.
Dennis Hastert is a traitor ,google Sibel Edmonds and see what see has on Dennis Hastert.

Though we might be hearing from you today I'm just wondering why it took you longer than usual to get here!

I'm a busy man, Brad! I don't have time to spread my negative, doom-'n-gloom rhetoric only at BradBlog. I've got things to criticize, people to mock, opinions of others to deride. I can't just drop everything and rush her to spread my bile and vitriol whenever you post something!
Keep up the good work, my good friend Brad.

It's "too late," and it remains to be seen.
What was the Michael Douglas line?
