Delay appears to be off the hook, and will not be indicted.

Surprise surprise.

[physioex]

1. Delay.....

When will we ever get rid of him??

[GRLMGC]

3. My guess is never

He will the be the reoccuring hemmorrhoid on our collective ass.

[tridim]

13. I'm currently training a group of "Cockroaches For Truth"

They're very pissed at the Exterminator.

[physioex]

20. I am so...

Sick of these corrupt Repug jerks.....

[Triana]

2. He's a Repuke - the "Rule of Law" doesn't apply to HIM...

...it only applies to other people...

[iamjoy]

18. You Mean Democrats

when you say "other people"
Rule of law does not apply to hard-core Republicans

[AlCzervik]

4. That fucker, he will get his some day

i dont know when and where but it will happen, he can't escape karma forever.

[GRLMGC]

6. I don't know about that

I learned a long time ago that the crookedest people prosper the most while the most honest ones get trampled. Maybe I'm just too pessimistic.

[grumpy old fart]

5. Well, at least we got to expose another Repug hypocrasy...

by giving them the opportunity to officially lower the ethical barrier against criminals leading their party...

[opihimoimoi]

7. They change the rules to fit their needs, Thats ARROGANCE

Etc etc

[PatriotGames]

8. Of course he is off the hook. Is anyone suprised?

[ooglymoogly]

9. great we save a republican turkey with all the fix---ins

what the hell its thanksgiving

[opihimoimoi]

10. He is another NEWT in the making.....

[cubsfan forever]

14. Guess TomThumb was the third turkey

11. Another Teflon Don that Delay. Shameful.

Can't we be the media on this too. Just compile all the stories about his shameful behavior and start emailing or mailing them to smaller papers around the country, or larger papers. As usual, most people don't know about his shenanigi.

[Pacifist Patriot]

12. Lovely, just lovely.

[Deja Q]

15. Well, I hope the world is watching. If we can't police or own who rule,

how can we be trusted as a nation in a global neighborhood and all that other shoveling?

* has his work cut out for him. Which is sad because he sure as hell couldn't do it before. :-(

[Gman]

16. If Earle thought he could get a conviction, he'd go to the Grand Jury

He's not going to do it unless he's sure he can prevail. The case against Delay must be just vague enough to get Earle to back off. Earle must also be having a difficult time getting those already indicted to turn state's evidence against Delay. Can't blame them as they would probably like to live to see the sunrise tomorrow. They'd be walking dead men if they did it.

Delay must have been successful in keeping enough of an arm's lenghth relationship with this to keep it vague.

[Freddie Stubbs]

17. Surprise? Remember that it is Travis County

Not exactly Bush country.

[catnhatnh]

19. Delay Safe

They said you could get a grand jury to indict "A ham sandwich" and they missed THIS PIG!!!!!

[newyawker99]

23. Hi catnhatnh!!

Welcome to DU!! :toast:

[catnhatnh]

24. Thank You, New Yawker...

Been lurking a while and just couldn't resist wise assin' a bit...

21. Fact: There is no justice in the US of A . . .

if you're poor and not well connected, you go to jail for the most trivial of offenses (mostly drug-related) . . .

if you're rich and well connected, you can literally get away with murder, and virtually any other crime you care to commit . . .

and nobody seems to care . . .

[Julius Civitatus]

26. White, rich, Republican and connected....

never have to worry about those pesky things like "the rule of law," or even decorum. We are quickly moving back to 19th Century America, and it seems clearer than ever that we live is a society that treats differently those in the upper echelons of society.

[yellowcanine]

22. Not so fast - he still may be culpable on tribal casinogate. Lot of smoke

there and all of it is swirling around Delay. And those would be FEDERAL charges - not so easy to put them down as partisan witch hunting.

[Julius Civitatus]

25. We are becoming a banana republic

This is outrageous. The IOKIYAR rule (it's ok if you are Republican) is liberally applied once again.

Sickening. I feel nauseous.
