Mr. Sanctimony - #58

#58 TONY RUDY
FORMER DEPUTY CHIEF OF STAFF TO FORMER SPEAKER OF THE HOUSE
TOM DELAY (TX)

If you had no inkling that the GOP cocksuckers were a dirty sanctimonious bunch, the example of Tony Rudy will be instuctive for you.

Rudy first became an aide to California congressman Dana Rohrbacher but then moved on to (GOP Cocksucker #54) then Rep. Tom DeLay of Texas, whom he worked for for six years. Rudy was a rising GOP cocksucker star as DeLay nabbed the Speaker's chair. "As long as he wants me," Rudy said of DeLay, "I'll be there for him."

Then Rudy started taking things like golfing trips from (GOP Cocksucker #47) the notorious Jack Abramoff and other goodies while still in DeLay's employ. The goodies were for things like using his influence to croak certain legislation, like when he helped kill a bill about online gambling that an Abramoff client did not like. Rudy ended up pleading guilty to a charge of conspiracy.

Rudy's plea agreement alleges no wrongdoing by DeLay, who is fighting a money-laundering indictment that could send him to jail for the rest of his life, but Rudy's sentencing has been postponed while he cooperates with investigators. That has been going on since March 2006, which makes you wonder what he's telling them.
