Hammer Time

The great Commander of the Faithful, congressman Tom DeLay, also known as the Hammer because he is a metaphor of Justice, was yesterday indicted of breaking Texas' election laws.

Of course, DeLay properly denounced the charges, attacking the prosecutor, Democrat Ronnie Earle as partisan hack, even though he has prosecuted four times as many Democrats as Republicans.

Certainly, DeLay knows a partisan hack when he sees one.

Folly can take solace, though, in the knowledge that they could never find 12 Texans willing to convict DeLay of anything.
