Rest easy, America. We may be embroiled in some national trauma about the tenor of our political discourse, the insanity of our gun laws and our own violent natures, but soon a very dangerous man will be behind bars: Tom DeLay.
DeLay was sentenced to three years today on money laundering charges. In short, he's a thief — guilty of illegally funneling cash to right-wing candidates in Texas. He robbed us all, because we all have a stake in the fundamental fairness of the electoral system.
We cats are just sorry that DeLay couldn't have been sent to prison longer — for torturing an American family over its private healthcare choices. And for threatening judges if they didn't rule his way.
And, considering the events in Arizona this past weekend, for helping to ratchet up the political vitriol over the last 15 years.
Enjoy prison, Tom. Don't drop the soap!
