Republicans Hate Lawyers...Until They Need Them

Tom "I AM the federal government." DeLay is lawyering up for an ethics probe.

Hard to believe such a stand-up Christian would need a team of bloodsucking lawyers to defend him, isn't it?

Facing legal challenges in Washington and Austin, House Majority Leader Tom DeLay (R-Texas) has retained lawyers to defend him in both a Congressional ethics probe and an ongoing investigation into Texas’ 2002 legislative races.

Shouldn't a guy with such a high level of moral clarity take a stand against the stranglehold that lawyers have on this country by defending himself? I mean, unless he's really afraid of being busted...

I only hope our glorious leader, President Bush, will resist the wily charms of evil trial lawyers in defending himself in the CIA leak case...

...Bush's chief spokesman, Scott McClellan, confirmed that Bush had contacted Washington attorney Jim Sharp, a trial lawyer and former assistant U.S. attorney. There is no indication Bush has been questioned yet.

Oh, what the Cheney!?!

PS: Check out this great photo taken here in Raleigh of an overpass welcoming President Bush to the Triangle.
