Tom Delay Blames Liberals For His Conviction

Tom Delay appeared on The TODAY Show with his lawyer to announce that The Hammer was convicted by a jury of his peers because the case was tried in the most "liberal city in America." He called it the criminalization of politics. I think when you break the law using politics to launder money to people that actually makes one a criminal, doesn't it?

Delay: first of all, I was tried in the most liberal county in the state of Texas, indeed in the United States. Getting a jury -- the foreman of the jury was a Greenpeace activist. I'm not criticizing the jury. The point is, that this is a political campaign, has everything to do that the district attorney used six grand juries before he found one just sworn in to indict me on laws that don't exist in Texas .

Matt, you can't -- to have money laundering, you have to have proceeds from a criminal activity, like drugs or things like that. They never proved that these proceeds were illegal. They were legally raised corporate funds that were send to Washington to be used legally around the country and Washington sent legally raised funds back to Texas. That's not money laundering .

Does that make sense to you? And then he went hog-wild on the issue of gun control.


Are conservatives incapable of taking responsibility for their actions?
