Reply #32: Disgusting and Stupid

If Hastert thinks that January will see the end of DeLay's legal difficulties, he is either very dim or privy to information that has not been publicly divulged, ie, the fix is in. Either case is credible.

The Dems can do some justified bitching- this is another blaring example of the Republicans' corrupt mismanagement. But how many millions of such examples do we need?

It comes down to election$, not day-to-day bad governance. 2006 is crucial to Repugs. DeLay is key to their steely grasp of the House. If he is neutralized, a lot of unseen power structures are going to be fatally weakened.

I'm afraid Hastert knows something we don't if he thinks DeLay will stand for Leader again. Or he is very very dumb.
