DeLay: Conservative politics being criminalized

Fox News started whining about the "criminalization of politics" a couple of weeks ago, and now Tom DeLay has jumped on the paddywagon - er, bandwagon. In a letter to his constituents and co-conspirators - er, contributors, DeLay wrote, "What we're fighting is so much larger than a single court case or a single district attorney in Travis County. We are witnessing the criminalization of conservative politics."

No, no, no, Mr. DeLay. It isn't the criminalization of politics; it's the criminalization of crime. And don't worry, you'll look smashing in your new orange jumpsuit.

(We didn't really mean to make a pun, but "smashing"? The Hammer?)
