Couldn't Happen to A [Nastier] Guy

I had other words to go in that bracket regarding Tom DeLay's resignation - but didn't want to kick him while he's down. Oh that's not really true. Let me know how you'd fill in the blank.

I was just sharing with colleagues my small, insignificant role in the Tom DeLay resignation. You see, I once hired a freelance columnist for a web site I worked on in 2000. His name was Tony Rudy -- and he insisted that payment go to Liberty Consulting. If neither of those names sounds familiar, you haven't been reading about this enough. So after a phone call and visit from the FBI a few months ago, I knew it was only a matter of time.

But thinking about this made me look back in the archives for any outrage about DeLay - and not surprisingly, I've been pretty consistent. And it proves two things: all good things come to those who wait and most importantly, the system works.

So DeLay's outtahere. He's only thinking of his constituents? Right. And there's a bridge in Brooklyn for sale.
