News, Etc.

Who says corrupt politicians are like everybody else?

Former U.S. House Majority Leader Tom DeLay today was sentenced to three years in prison for his conviction on a charge of conspiracy to commit political money laundering. He also was sentenced to five years in prison on a money laundering conviction, but the judge probated that to 10 years of community supervision.

DeLay was taken into custody by Travis County deputies, but will be released on $10,000 bail pending appeal.

Fortunately, Sharron Angle isn't interested in the Nevada state senate seat being vacated by longtime incumbent Bill Raggio.
