Catching up on the news after the Holiday weekend…
There is still some justice.
Now, let’s see if this holds on appeal…
AUSTIN, Texas — The heavy-handed style that made Tom DeLay one of the nation’s most powerful and feared members of Congress also proved to be his downfall Wednesday when a jury determined he went too far in trying to influence elections, convicting the former House majority leader on two felonies that could send him to prison for decades.
Jurors deliberated for 19 hours before returning guilty verdicts on charges of money laundering and conspiracy to commit money laundering in a scheme to illegally funnel corporate money to Texas candidates in 2002. He faces up to life in prison on the money laundering charge, although prosecutors haven’t yet recommended a sentence.

Having seen Mr. Delay in snipets on”Dancing with the Stars(?)” I think it is safe to say that he will do just fine with a lifetime prison sentence. He will just need to learn how to relax.
