Want Some Cheese With Your Whine, Tom?

DeLame reveals his inner hissy:

Rep. Tom DeLay, under indictment on campaign finance violations, railed against Democrats in a letter Thursday, accusing them of engaging in "the politics of personal destruction."

The letter, sent to constituents and contributors, connected his case with investigations into possible misconduct by White House adviser Karl Rove and Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist.

"What we're fighting is so much larger than a single court case or a single district attorney in Travis County," the Texas Republican wrote. "We are witnessing the criminalization of conservative politics."

Actually, Tom, what we're witnessing is the fact that plenty of conservative politicians--like yourself--are criminals.

Speaking of...like a lot of other folks, my Fitzmas stocking is hung by the chimney with care. However, I'll be working on a big project here, so posting might be a little spotty.

Of course I've seen this morning the reports--supposedly a definite indictment for Scooter, while Rove must sweat longer--Firedoglake, though, says hold on, and take all rumors with a grain, if not a shaker of salt. Anyway, there's a document dump in a little over an hour, and a press conference set for 2 o'clock, eastern time.

So, if Santa's arriving in the afternoon, should we set milk and cookies out--or something else?
