Every time something goes in Tom DeLay’s favor, he jumps up, waves his Bible around and says that Jesus loves him real special.

Maybe not so much.

It seems that all those secret DOJ files when Tom DeLay was being investigated are now open to public inspection.  I, for one, kept wondering why every single one of his friends got indicted but Tom never did.  Now we get to find out why.

The DOJ said the public did not have a right to see the files because Tom DeLay’s “privacy interests.”  Yeah, that’s some caca del toro.

U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit ruled that the Department of Justice (DOJ) had failed entirely to justify withholding documents from its closed investigation of former House Majority Leader Tom DeLay (R-TX).

A special thanks should go to CREW, the watchdogs that keep fighting.

Now this does not mean that we get to see the files tomorrow.  It goes back to district court where the Department of Justice gets to explain why Tom DeLay, public official, has a “privacy interest.” Honey, he didn’t seem too concerned about privacy when he shook his butt on Dancing With the Stars, or now that he’s showing his butt on Fox News.  How come what he did on our payroll gets to be private.

“… the D.C. Circuit said in this latest opinion, “prominent and influential public officials are subjected to the same investigative scrutiny and prosecutorial zeal as local aldermen and little-known lobbyists.”

No shoot, Sherlock.

Thanks to Alfredo at the Dairy Queen for the heads up.
