Here's a statement from DeLay's spokesman, who should be called The Hammer himself. It's just hysterical, two ways! Let's count how many times he says Tom DeLay and how many times he counts Ronnie Earle, shall we? "These charges have no basis in the facts or the law. This is just another examp...

Yeah, well, anybody who has been following this story is greeting it with a big yawn. Who didn't see this coming? There is no doubt in my mind the guy is going to end up in jail.
