I didn't realize the Houston Chronicle was such a rag. (re:delay editorial

[rpannier]

Expedite hearing
DeLay deserves a chance to be swiftly judged not guilty and thus regain his leadership post.

Lovely opening don't you think "...deserves a chance to be swiftly judged not guilty..." Not prove his innocence. I guess we can just avoid the trial all together.

Even if he is cleared of the charges he faces in Texas, House Republicans might be reluctant to return him to the leadership. That, however, is a decision that should be made by them, not by a district attorney with the tools to postpone the trial indefinitely.

Yeah...that evil DA. Gotta protect poor tommy boy who like Jesus Christ is being persecuted unjustly.

1. Delay

Deserves his day in court, is what he deserves. And I would like to see him declared guilty enough of money laundering that his political career is thoroughly dead.

I want what these folks have been smoking.........

2. Don't worry the bug man has been squashed!!! He

thinks he's a cochroach and you can't get rid of him, but he's more like a spider. GET THE RAID!!!!!!!!!

7. kind of surprising. they never endorse him.

or, at least they haven't in the past few election cycles. The Chronicle is a rag, but they usually don't fawn over delay (like they do, say, over bush)

I wonder how delay got them to cooperate this time.

8. An editorial is nothing more than

one perons opinion.

9. I wouldn't line the bottom of a bird cage with the Houston Chronicle

Editorials.

They're weak, and there's no telling who is writing them. Hell, Karl Rove may have ghost written the DeLay piece.
