Tom DeLay Sleeps With the Fishes?

The Texas Court of Criminal Appeals refused Monday to intervene in the prosecution of DeLay on money-laundering charges. This comes two days after he abandoned his hopes to reclaim the job of majority leader for the U.S. House of Representatives. Currently Reps. Roy Blunt and John Boehner are set to duke it out over who should take over as majority leader.

It finally looks like the gangsters are turning on one of their own. Our advice would be for DeLay to turn down those invitations for long car rides down to Galveston. Can anyone else think of any more gangster analogies to add here?
