Tom DeLay convicted in money-laundering trial
A Texas jury on Wednesday convicted former House Majority Leader Tom DeLay on charges of illegally funneling corporate money to help elect GOP candidates to the Texas legislature.
DeLay was found guilty on charges of money laundering and conspiracy to commit money laundering, said jury bailiff Gilbert Soto.
DeLay was charged with illegally funneling $190,000 in corporate money to help elect Republicans to the state House and Senate in 2002. At the outset of the trial, he predicted the jury would clear him.

Woooooo Hoooooo!!!!! Looks like the crook will be locked up for at least 5 years, given that the first count has a sentence of 5-99 years. I'll say it again. Woooo Hooooo!!!!!
that is what we expect from the republicans in all united estates....maybe now they not know him.....
Hey Tommy boy, drop the soap. You can let Cheney hold your pockets when he gets there. Lol.
It would be better if they sentence DeLay to 50 years in prison so he can die there.
brings to mind: power corrupts. absolute power corrupts absolutely...
Seeya Tom, maybe you can take an ethics course in the big house.
This is new's I wasn't expecting.
I'll echo that woo-hoo, Karl. Justice has actually been served.
Justice was a long time coming on this one. Good Job
isn't it funny that Bush administration had the most number of criminals, and indictments in US history? ALL REPUBLICANS???
What about all those Democrats in the White House that did not pay their taxes, but want to raise ours !! OUTRAGE !!
Sorry Jim, but you certainly have ALL your facts wrong, just like everyone else in the Obama administration. He has more crooks in his administration than San Quentin had at it's peak ! ! !
They paid their taxes. An audit that finds you owe more than you paid isn't against the law.
Hunter your response to Jim's comment is very confusing – or confused! Is Jim part of the Obama administration? Who has the most crooks – Bush? What is your first language?
Jim is 100% correct. The Bush admin had the most CONVICTED criminals in US history. FACT. They were also the highest ranking officials who were the closest to the president. Tom Delay is a true Teabagger now
Elia: What Democrats who (not "that" – you use "who" for people, "that" for things) have not paid their taxes?
And in my world, returning the tax rate (from the current 36%) to what the wealthy paid under Reagan (39%) is something I can more than live with.
And I'm sure the wealthy aren't going to suffer much, either.
So get off your "Democrats are raising our taxes" mantra! 95% of Americans got a TAX BREAK because of President Obama and the Democrats!
Sheesh! Folks in this country are DUMB (and gullible)!!
Hunter: Again, be specific. More crooks than San Quentin at its peak?
As of December 2008, San Quentin had a prison population of 5,256.
President Obama has 22 members in his Cabinet.
10 others serve at the pleasure of the President (positions such as the Chair of the FDIC).
President Obama has nominated fewer than two dozen judges to fill judicial vacancies.
I could go on, but you get the idea (or you'd have an idea, if you'd do a little research and stop transcribing what Limbaugh and Beck say).
BTW, regarding judicial nominations:
Judicial confirmations slowed to a trickle on the day President Barack Obama took office. Filibusters, anonymous holds, and other obstructionary tactics have become the rule. Uncontroversial nominees wait months for a floor vote, and even district court nominees—low-ranking judges whose confirmations have never been controversial in the past—are routinely filibustered into oblivion. Nominations grind to a halt in many cases even after the Senate Judiciary Committee has unanimously endorsed a nominee.
No THAT'S criminal – and typically Republican these days!
I didin't Tom Delay did money laundering, this is new news to me.
I think you accidentally a world in that sentence
gotcha !
About time!! I await the blogging defenders of this legendary champion of American freedom and the ordinary citizen! Who will be the first to blame (1) the liberal media, (2) Muslims, or (3) Obama?
No excuses from me. Guilty is guilty. Maybe Tom Delay and Charlie Rangel can share a prison cell.
Rangel didn't profit from his crap, Delay did. DeLay stole an American election. That should be treason.
Maybe there is a god after all.
What a d bag.. I hate politicians.. Except for Ron Paul
Convicted felon AND a crappy dancer!
From dancing with the stars to bending over behind bars.
Next on the docket: Karl Rove?
Be still my heart...
If there is a God.
Yes! I hope Karl (slimeball/turdblossom) Rove is next also.
If Rove, Cheney and/or Rumsfeld go down too then the second coming must be at hand! Lol. Shock and Awe?
He's a convicted good dancer. But hey, at least he is a good dancer...
The Hammer got hammered ... and in Texas yet!
Well. Whadaknow bout this!
