April 24, 2005Now There's an Ethics ChargeTo date the "ethics charges" being bandied about and aimed at Tom DeLay have been pretty picayune stuff, standard Washington practices of which even his accusers are guilty, and often to a greater degree--if "guilty" is the right word for practices that look bad but aren't illegal, and are even traditional. Here's something with more teeth to it. DeLay Airfare Was Charged To Lobbyist's Credit Card I have predicted privately that if real illegalities surfaced to sink DeLay, it would be through the Abramoff connection. This could be the tip of the iceberg. UPDATE: More background on the meaty stuff from Fineman and Isikoff. Posted by Tully at April 24, 2005 11:36 AMComments
Do I hear the theme from "Jaws" slowly building in the background? Posted by: c3 at April 25, 2005 07:47 PMLOL--yes, the sharks are circling. Posted by: Tully at April 25, 2005 09:23 PMIf he is guilty hang him, but I still see no malice from him. At worst, so far, he is guilty of not bringing both his lawyer and accountant to the golf course. There is no reason to believe it was NOT a mistake. With out seeing a pattern, I must still give the benefit of doubt. Posted by: norgeman at April 26, 2005 03:58 AM |
