Dean Still Calls for Jail Time for DeLay - Guardian
http://www.guardian.co.uk/worldlatest/story/0,1280,-5020496,00.html

i love this guy..send delay to jail!

--

WASHINGTON (AP) - Democratic Party chairman Howard Dean, who famously refused to prejudge Osama bin Laden's guilt, is standing by his judgment that House Majority Leader Tom DeLay may deserve jail time for allegations of corruption.

``Tom DeLay is corrupt. No question about it,'' Dean said Friday. ``This is a guy who shouldn't be in Congress and maybe ought to be serving in jail.''

He told The Associated Press on Friday, ``Maybe I'm prophetic.''


Asked whether he was rushing to judgment, the former Vermont governor said with a laugh, ``I got in trouble because I wouldn't convict Osama bin Laden. Maybe I've learned something.''

...In the AP interview, Dean accused Republicans of abusing their powers by pushing to change Senate rules to make it easier to confirm President Bush's judicial nominees. If the effort fails, the GOP will be politically weakened, he said. If the rules are changed, voters will ``see the arrogance of power in the Republican Party.''

``It's a win-win for us,'' the Democrat said.

I haven't ever had another politician who I agree with more. Its a good 90%.

I hope the dems don't cave to this Frist crap.
