Tom DeLay Sentenced to Three Years in Prison for Money Laundering

[Crabtownboy]

Nothing surprising in this sentence.

Nicknamed "The Hammer" for his uncompromising political style, DeLay was convicted on Nov. 24 on charges related to the 2002 midterm elections. Senior Judge Pat Priest sentenced DeLay to three years on the conspiracy charge, and five years on the money laundering charge. However, the Texas Republican was granted a 10-year probation on the latter, according to the Associated Press.

Maybe he should have done like Clinton's guy Yah Lin "Charlie" Trie and fled the country.
