The silence from Republicans, who feel Tom DeLay appropriately represents today's Republican party as House Majority Leader in the United States Congress, is almost as outstanding as their blind partisan lust for corporate interests over the interest of the American people. Fawning Republican gadflies are the last to consider the facts in a drunken circle-jerk of empty rhetoric, criminal behavior, and an unethical orgy of power worthy of an unprecedented three unanimous and bi-partisan Congressional rebukes.

Here is yet more accounts of DeLay's direct involvement in completely unrelated activities for which three of DeLay's colleagues have already been indicted on felony charges. I look forward to the somber court sketches as DeLay's colleagues attest under oath to their glowing accounts of how central Tom DeLay was to criminal activity that made them proud to be Republicans.

Though DeLay has maintained that he did nothing but raise money and serve as chairman of the committee's advisory board, Republican state Rep. Dianne Delisi of Temple, a fellow board member, gave DeLay more credit for his efforts.
In a memo to Dallas businessman Boone Pickens making a pitch for support, Delisi wrote that DeLay "has been an ardent advocate for us by raising money, making phone calls, serving as a special guest at events and providing assistance with leading strategists." DeLay and Delisi did not return phone calls requesting comment.

Three DeLay associates have been indicted in a Texas criminal investigation into alleged laundering of corporate money to Texas legislative campaigns through TRMPAC, a committee DeLay founded. If Delay, who has not been interviewed in the case, is indicted, he must step down as leader, according to House rules.
