Delay trying to subpoena the prosecutor is the height of arrogance. He is obviously guilty. Why doesn't he just admit it, apologize and plea bargain? Instead, he stonewalls and accuses his accusers. That will not work. It will likely backfire bigtime. I predict this move will guarantee Delay goes to prison for a long time instead of getting off on probation. No court likes arrogant suspects who have no humility and refuse to admit any wrongdoing. Delay's wrongdoing is obvious to anyone. Everyone in Texas knows he's a crook. Do you support crooks who attack their accusers? Apparently. And you claim to be a moral person. Not.

I bet WI voters will be real impressed with Green's loyalty to Delay......well, actually, its not so much Delay but to Delay's money that Green feels a real strong affection. ************************************************* Rep. Green won't return DeLay cash** Received $29,400 from PAC October 10, 2005 GREEN BAY (AP) - U.S. Rep. Mark Green is rebuffing calls by Democrats to divest campaign funds donated by former U.S. House Majority Leader Tom DeLay. DeLay is under indictment for violating campaign fundraising laws and has temporarily resigned his leadership post. Green, R-Hobart, received more than $29,400 from DeLay's political action committee and state Democrats say that money should be returned or used for purposes other than for Green's bid to be the Republican nominee for governor. Green's campaign manager, Mark Graul, says all but $2,000 of the money has been spent and the campaign will keep the money until there is a clear determination of DeLay's guilt or innocence. "I think we're going to let the justice process work its way through," said Graul. Green said returning the money could amount to breaking the law. "And as we understand it, it would actually be illegal to do what they are calling for," Green said. Joe Wineke, chairman of the Wisconsin Democratic Party, began calling for Green to divest the money last week. He stepped up the pressure Thursday by unveiling the Web site, www.dirtygreen.com, which describes Green's "ethically challenged dash for cash." "It goes beyond dollars and cents into where are your values," said Wineke. "In Mark Green's case it's pretty clear to me that he values his relationship to Tom DeLay." madison.com
