AUSTIN, Texas -- A judge has ordered U.S. House Majority Leader Tom DeLay to serve three years in prison for his role in a scheme to illegally funnel corporate money to Texas candidates in 2002.

The sentence comes after a jury in November convicted DeLay on charges of money laundering and conspiracy to commit money laundering. DeLay was once one of the most powerful men in U.S. politics, ascending to the No. 2 job in the House of Representatives.

The former Houston-area congressman had faced up to life in prison. His attorneys asked for probation.

Senior Judge Pat Priest issued his ruling after a brief sentencing hearing on Monday in which former U.S. House Speaker Dennis Hastert testified on DeLay's behalf.

Priest declined to hear testimony from the state's only witness.

I was sort of getting confused myself reading the article, how it doesn't say R or D or any sort of hint towards what party he belonged to, it simply calls him the House Majority Leader. The way they've worded it, almost threw me off who this guy was

scheme to illegally funnel corporate money to Texas candidates in 2002.

Didn't the Supreme court just rule corporations could finance campaigns now?

No, I am a Conservative. A real conservative, not a Republican which would be a Socialist Conservative.

And a repressive one at that.

No, I was too young to vote for Regan. I would have at the time though. I voted Perot and Bush #2 for the first term. Saw what the Republicans did the first time they had any power and hated myself for being their sucker. Both parties suckle from the tit of insanity.

Reagan sucked.

I don't know... I'd say Frank's corruption involving Fannie Mae was a lot worse than any prostitution scandals.

Anyway Republicans = Socialists? Please post your youtube rant page - I could use a laugh right now, and the FBI are looking for doors to kick down.
