I enjoy writing. I don't actually make a living with my English degree, so I keep a blog for fun. The blog is first draft, and as a former editor I apologize for any weird errors that may be present. I do not apologize for writing about things that matter to me. Thanks for reading.

DeLay indicted, but not concerned

Indicted DeLay leaves House leadership post

Funny how DeLay is actually not worried about this at all.

DeLay dismissed the charges as having "no basis in the facts or the law."

"This indictment is nothing more than prosecutorial retribution by a partisan Democrat," he said in a statement.


However...

In September 2002, Colyandro, TRMPAC's executive director, sent a blank check to Ellis, who was DeLay's primary fund-raiser in Washington.

According to a money-laundering indictment against the two men, Ellis is accused of having the Republican National Committee launder $190,000 of corporate donations into noncorporate money that was distributed to seven candidates for the Texas House of Representatives.

Texas law generally prohibits corporate money from being used for campaign activities.


Next stop, Bill Frist and his "blind trust" tampering. Isn't that how Jim Traficant got a prison sentence, by tampering with his "blind trust?" Hmmm. I thought so. That Jim Traficant...what a card. I miss him, actually.
