GEORGE W. BUSH
He was the best President and he would be the best
Sec Gen.
By whose standards? GW has cemented his place in U.S. history as the
WORST President since U.S. Grant. Just look at the recent primary
elections. If you wanted to win, you ran as an anti-Bush,
anti-conservative candidate.
If he were, the corruption would stop and the UN would
have some balls, for a change.
Bush didn't even have the balls to report for duty to his Alabama NG
assignment. He, and unfortunately, the entire country, has zero
credibility.
Truthfully, I think even Tom DeLay would make a better UN SG than
Bush.
Oh, that's right - they are thinking of reindicting DeLay again,
aren't they?
Crisco, you're too ignorant to even rate a response.
And yet you responded.
And pretty much to expose the fact that you were left without a clue as
how to respond.
Simply because Fuddy doesn't have a clue...
Court may reinstate conspiracy charge against DeLay
POSTED: 4:29 p.m. EDT, September 13, 2006
AUSTIN, Texas (AP) -- The state's highest criminal appeals court said
Wednesday it would consider reinstating a conspiracy charge against former
House Majority Leader Tom DeLay, further delaying his felony money
laundering trial.
A Travis County grand jury indicted DeLay and two political consultants last
year on charges stemming from Republican fundraising during the 2002
legislative races.
A state district court judge later threw out one of two conspiracy charges.
Prosecutors asked the appeals court to reinstate the dropped charge, and the
court said Wednesday that it would consider that request.
Judge Pat Priest said he would proceed with DeLay's trial when the appeals
process has ended.
DeLay stepped down as majority leader after the charges were filed and
announced his resignation from Congress a few months later. He and other
Texas Republicans have accused prosecutor Ronnie Earle, a Democrat, of
conducting a political vendetta.
"It's just another bump in the road," DeLay's attorney, *** DeGuerin, said
Wednesday. "I thought they would just refuse to get involved but at the same
time, I'm not really shocked by it."
Earle did not immediately return a phone call from The Associated Press.
Both sides will be given time to file their arguments with the Court of
Criminal Appeals, which will then set a date for oral arguments. A ruling is
not likely to come before next year, said Ed Marty, general counsel to the
court.
Prosecutors accuse DeLay and the two consultants of violating state law by
funneling $190,000 in illegal corporate money to the Republican National
Committee, which then donated the same amount to Texas candidates. Under
Texas law, corporate money can't be directly used for political campaigns.
DeLay and the consultants, Jim Ellis and John Colyandro, say the transaction
was legal.
The dispute over the dismissed charge centers on whether the conspiracy
statute applied to the state's election code in 2002. DeLay was accused of
conspiring to violate the election code, but his attorneys say that
transaction was not illegal at the time. DeGuerin says the dropped charge
accuses DeLay of conspiring to violate the election code as it stood in
2003.
The other conspiracy count DeLay faces accuses him of conspiring to launder
money.
