Justice DeLayed is Justice Denied

Reuters reports on the latest goings on in the Tom DeLay saga:

U.S. House of Representatives Majority Leader Tom DeLay, rebuked by his chamber's ethics committee last week for offering an improper political favor, was admonished by the same panel on Wednesday night for two unrelated matters.

The committee rebuked DeLay for his participation in an energy company golf fund-raiser in 2002, and for having intervened with help of a federal agency in a partisan dispute in Texas last year.

DeLay called a late-night news conference to respond to the admonishments, which prompted another citizen's watchdog group to call for him to step aside.

Considering that most of the House business these days is conducted after hours, it doesn't surprise me that it was a "late-night" news conference. I mean, jeez, is Tom DeLay a goddamned vampire? Does the sight of the rising sun cause him to crawl back into the coffin awaiting him at his Capitol Hill office?

I dunno--maybe the coffin is also one of Cheney's "secure, undisclosed locations." While watching Tuesday's debate, I was struck by how ashen the VP looked. Zombies and ghosts (and, speaking of, Ann Coulter) have more of a tan than Big Time.

The next time DeLay appears before the press, it'd be nice if someone brought a mirror along just to see whether or not he makes a reflection.
