The Hammer Slammered?

@ 03:30 PM (35 months, 16 days ago)

Mark this date on your calendar.  September 28, 2005.  The day the chickens finally came home to roost for Representative Tom Delay (R-TX). 

After being admonished several times by the House Ethics Committee, "The Hammer" was indicted today by a grand jury on conspiracy charges relating to campaign finance.

The Hammer's indictment comes one day after the Republican Party celebrated the 11th anniversary of their Contract on America.  A Contract which The Hammer helped orchastrate, promising to usher in a new era of ethics and integrity in Washington.

Today he got the message: Contract Breached.

  3. Seems Harry Reid has been caught in the same trap.

  4. Sen. Reid has not been caught in the same trouble. Sen. Reid is not under indictment for illegal campaign finance shinanigance.

  6. I'll have to go research that. I have not ever heard anything about Sen. Reid and that.

    I somehow doubt it.
