I guess even high priced writ twits can screw up when Tom DeLay is involved.

Tom DeLay’s own evidence turned against him Wednesday as a calendar showed the former U.S. House Majority leader in a meeting with a key political aide two hours after the man received the check used in an alleged $190,000 political money laundering scheme.

DeLay’s lawyer Dick DeGuerin introduced a calendar to try to prove that DeLay did not meet with the culprits involved in the money laundering until well after the event took place.

“Oopsy,” Juanita says, “DeGuerin missed a cahooting session that took place within hours of the swap.”

But Travis County prosecutor Beverly Mathews got Bos to confirm under cross examination that Ellis also was in a group of people who had a 1-2:30 p.m. grass-roots planning meeting with DeLay Sept. 11, 2002, in his congressional leadership office. Mathews noted that the meeting occurred shortly after Ellis received a blank TRMPAC check that was used in the money exchange.

“So, let’s get this right.  On the first anniversary of the attacks of 9/11, Tom DeLay marked the date by setting up a political cabal to illegally laundering money.  Boy Howdy, what a great American!”  Sarcasm is just another of the free friendly services offered at the World’s Most Dangerous Beauty Salon, Inc.

DeLay’s writ twit says —

“I just missed that one,” DeGuerin said sheepishly afterward, noting he only had obtained the calendar on Sunday. “The (Sept. 11) meeting was with a bunch of other people.”

“Okay,” Juanita admits, “I didn’t go to law school or anything so I’m no genius, but it doesn’t take me from Sunday to Wednesday to read a calendar.  Even on a bad hair day.”

UPDATE:  DeLay won’t take the stand.  I suspect that “misspeaking” might be a problem.  You know how strongly DeLay feels about perjury.

President Clinton, on the other hand, lied about everything, which ultimately resulted in an admission of what amounted to perjury and obstruction of justice. For his crimes, he was disbarred by the Supreme Court and the State Bar of Arkansas. He paid $25,000 in fines and an $850,000 settlement in the Paula Jones case, and he admitted to the independent counsel that he had intentionally given misleading testimony and undermined the administration of justice. History will also note that he was the first elected president ever to be impeached. Indeed, President Clinton’s criminality is practically the only part of his legacy that is clear-cut.

Perjury. Subornation of perjury. Obstruction of justice. Abuse of power. Clinton lied not about what someone said to someone else but to cover up crimes he himself had committed.

Too damn bad those words weren’t sweeter because he might have to eat them if he took the stand.

Tom DeLay is filled to the brim with poopie del pollo.
