Saturday, November 27, 2010. Tom DeLay: The Latest GOP Criminal, The Next GOP Super Hero? Former GOP House Majority Leader Tom DeLay couldn't avoid justice for committing money laundering under Texas law. There can be no liberal bias claims in this one. There can be no liberal witch hunt in this claim. It becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy. Then again, as a society, we eat tons of fast food, find out it is killing us slowly through obesity, so we get upset and buy another extra large Big Mac Value Meal.
