Representative Tom Delay had the election fraud charge brought against him dropped yesterday, however, Judge Priest left standing charges of money laundering and conspiracy to launder money against him and his two co-defendants, Republican fund-raisers John D. Colyandro and James W. Ellis. This problem puts a dent in Delay's hopes to return to his job, which is rumored to be entertaining replacements as we speak. Naturally, Delay's office has tried to put a happy face on the situation by releasing a statement:
"The court's decision to dismiss a portion of Ronnie Earle's manufactured and flawed case against Mr. DeLay underscores just how baseless and politically motivated the charges were."
I am glad he is back in the news, because I have been saving the above Cartoon of the Day for weeks now. I realize that is not nice, but I really like that cartoon.

I get the strong feeling this is going to be a "good ole boy" trial: much laughing, back-slapping and cigar smoking in the judges chambers and a "naughty-naughty" finger wave at Delay. Love among the cronies, irk, ugh and B.S.
