Beep...Beep...Beep

This is a test of the Republican Indictment System. This is only a test. In the event of a real indictment, you would be directed where to tune for more information(and some bitchin' music to dance around the room to.) This is only a test.

Former Delay aide Tony Rudy plead guilty today to conspiracy, but more importantly, "promised to cooperate with a federal investigation of bribery and lobbying fraud."

Also, my friend Don fowarded me this WSJ story which confirms that it was Michael Scanlon's jilted fiancee who served him up to investigators starting this whole thing rolling.

  • I dunno. These guys have gotten away with so much, for so long, ith so few consequences, that I can't really be as optimistic as I oughta...

    That karma works too slow for my tastes.

  • Well, they're not gonna get all the deserve, but to power junkies like these guys, being stripped of position is significant. They're worse than nobody.

    And the KArma statement was more about a cheating fiancee getting his.

  • That fiancĂ©e story is priceless, isn't it? To think John Conyers might get to chair an impeachment committee not because of Iraq, wiretapping, or any of a hundred other scandals but over a jilted lover--somehow it makes our democracy that much more pathetic. But far more entertaining.

  • I know, I find it strangely satisfying, that these guys not only cheated in their business, but also their private lives and that's whats gonna get them.

    For all the jilted fiancees everywhere...
