This is Going to Hurt
Robert Novak, who is right more often than he is wrong, reports today:
Disgraced lobbyist Jack Abramoff has advised friends that he has no derogatory information about former House Majority Leader Tom DeLay and is not implicating him as part of his plea bargain with federal prosecutors.
Democrats who can see through the partisan hate fog, and who, therefore, know that the surviving charges against DeLay in Texas are a mockery and a sham, were always counting on the second shoe to drop, an indictment for some sort of misdeeds regarding evil lobbyist Jack Abramoff. If that doesn't happen, as Novak says it won't, and the charges are dismissed or DeLay is otherwise acquitted in Texas, he emerges with a clean bill of ethical health and a chance at regaining a leadership role in the House.
I saw a bumper sticker yesterday which I believe said, "Have you seen Tom DeLay's ethics lately?" That's just a little sign of the investment the Democrats have made in faux charges and rumor and innuendo. Not exactly a sound investment.
