Man, there is nothing like getting more than two GOP cocksuckers wound up in the same scandal. Once the appeals run out, there is actually an over/under in Vegas as to who will rat out the others first.

These three got caught up in DeLay's PAC scandals. In case you are wondering what they were about, TRMPAC and ARMPAC were designed to fund efforts to redraw legislative districts in Texas so they could send more GOP cocksuckers to Congress.

Well, nothing wrong with that....until you take a look at where their money was coming from and what they were doing with it. In Texas, it is illegal for corporations to contribute to state legislative races. However, that is just what eight corporations, along with TRMPAC and ARMPAC were indicted for doing.

According to a story in the Washington Post: "Ellis, 47, of Arlington, Va., and Colyandro, 40, of Austin, were indicted on one count each of money laundering -- specifically taking $190,000 in corporate money raised by TRMPAC and giving it to the Republican National Committee, which, in turn, had the Republican National State Elections Committee contribute to seven Texas House candidates. In all, about 20 Republican candidates were helped by TRMPAC activities to win Texas House seats.

"Colyandro was [also] indicted on 13 counts of unlawfully accepting $425,000 in corporate political contributions."

Meanwhile RoBold was indicted on "nine counts of unlawfully soliciting and accepting $250,000 in corporate political contributions."

This was the result of a 21-month investigation into the PACs. DeLay called Ronnie Earle, the Austin County D.A. who brought the charges, "a political fanatic" and that the charges would not affect him.

A year and eight days later, DeLay himself was indicted and had to step down as majority leader. Sixteen months later, DeLay quits Congress altogther.

Yah. They didn't affect him alright.
