It's like Christmas in September
I almost forgot, I nearly danced around the living room this morning when I saw Scotty McClellen sweating it out while the headline below him read "Tom DeLay Indicted". I swear it was like opening the door to find a bouquet of roses on my front step. I felt just like a kid at Christmas.

So, we have a federal probe implicating the president's number one political advisor and the vice president's chief of staff in the violation of laws protecting CIA agents and possibly lying to federal investigators.
We have a multi-pronged investigation into a lobbyist who happens to be a very close associate of Tom DeLay,Grover Norquist, Ralph Reed, Karl Rove and the entire Republican leadership going back to their youth as members of the College republicans. This lobbyist is now implicated in a mafia murder plot and has been arrested on charges affiliated with that crime.
A member of the Bush administration who is a good friend and associate of all of the above was arrested this week for lying to the Feds about his good friend the lobbyist.
The majority leader of the Senate is now officially under investigation by the SEC and federal prosecutors for insider trading involving potentially many millions of dollars.
The majority leader of the House was just indicted by a Texas Grand jury for violating laws prohibiting the use of corporate money in campaigns.
I am so relieved that the Republicans restored honor and integrity to Washington. There hasn't been even one blow job in that town since they took power.
Update: Oh and that reminds me --- David Drier is now the majority leader of the House of Representatives.

DeLayed Inaction
His speech today was a load of shit.
I was not aware of the mafia stuff, but such things are not unheard of. Do you have a solid news reference (not that the media is reliable by any means)?
