While he plans to appeal, Tom DeLay, one of the most powerful and divisive Republican lawmakers ever to come out of Texas, was convicted Wednesday of money-laundering charges in a state trial, five years after his indictment here forced him to resign as majority leader in the House of Representatives.

He can easily resurrect his political career even after a conviction if he would just become a Democrat. Heck, look at Rangle, he commits a felony and Dems vote to wag their fingers at him and tell him he's a naughty boy. Delay could probably get a leadership position having been convicted.........oh, wait, I forgot.....they only have minority positions now.
GF, what is funny is considering how long Delay has been out of politics probably half of the electorate doesn't even recognize his name. Only left wing nuts are still obsessed with him.......the rest of us are focused on the future and regaining control of the Senate and ejecting Obama to the Hate America Lecture Circuit with other loser Presidents Carter and Clinton.

Someone has to be the conscious of your party and that awesome task seems to have fallen on my humble shoulders. One cannot hide behind what others maybe quilty of for each must stand and answer for their actions under the concept of accepting personal responsibility. This has been taught to me by the many wing nuts who constantly accuse the poor liberals of refusing to accept such responsibility. Rangel makes his own bed no different than Delay.

Tom DeLay Blames 'Rogue' District Attorney
Before he was convicted this week of money laundering and conspiracy to commit money laundering, former U.S. House Majority Leader Tom DeLay blamed a "rogue" Texas district attorney and Democrats for indicting him so that he would be removed from his powerful position in Congress.
"All they wanted was the indictment, because the Republicans have a rule that if one of their leaders is indicted he has to temporarily step aside from his leadership position," DeLay told ABC News Chief Investigative Correspondent Brian Ross on a full episode of "Brian Ross Investigates." "So the Democrats, all they wanted was the indictment, and that's how they could get rid of me."
DeLay said a district attorney "shopped six grand juries...before he found a grand jury just sworn in 30 minutes to indict me" in a case where prosecutors said he illegally funneled corporate money through his political action committee to Texas candidates in 2002. Jurors spent 19 hours deliberating before returning the verdict Wednesday, after a three-week trial that saw more than 30 witnesses. The money laundering charge could see him sent to prison for life.
Combative and unbowed, the man who was once known as simply "The Hammer," defended his relationship with disgraced former lobbyist Jack Abramoff. He said the two remain close friends and spoke just last month, shortly after Abramoff was released from federal prison and moved into a Baltimore halfway house. Asked what the two discussed, DeLay said, "None of your business."
When Ross asked DeLay if any lessons were learned from the Abramoff episode, DeLay replied, "None at all."
