And if the latter does, color me puzzled that he didn't start the topic himself, considering that if any local yokel Democratic sub-commissioner in backwater North Dakota had so much as allegations against him, there would be a topic created. I guess DeLay was just too obscure and powerless, and an actual jury conviction is just too ambiguous. <a href="http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/40362249/ns/us_news/" target="_blank">http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/40...us_news/</a> "Former U.S. House Majority Leader Tom DeLay — once one of the most powerful and feared Republicans in Congress — was convicted Wednesday on charges he illegally funneled corporate money to Texas candidates in 2002. Jurors deliberated for 19 hours before returning guilty verdicts against DeLay on charges of money laundering and conspiracy to commit money laundering. He faces up to life in prison on the money laundering charge." MUCH more at the link!

I hope DeLay spends the rest of his life in prison.
