Travis County DA targets Tom DeLay
Chuck Kuffner relates the tale of how Rep. Tom DeLay is being investigated for setting up a PAC that allegedly used corporate money to finance political activities. DeLay may be a demagogue, but he's not stupid. Getting any charge to stick to him will be difficult at best, and since the DA is a Democrat, DeLay can claim political ulterior motives.
While I would love to see DeLay take a much-deserved fall, prosecuting him will likely prove to be a good deal of sound and fury which in the end will signify nothing. Others may take a fall, but DeLay is smart enough to at least maintain the appearance of impropriety. Too bad....
