Well, Tom Delay [or as I prefer to call him, the bugman] has just inched a bit closer to prison. Prosecutors announced today that Tony Rudy, one of the bugman's top aides when he was House Majority Leader, has agreed to plead guilty to fraud charges and violating the one-year lobbying ban on former government workers.
According to papers filed in U.S. District Court, Rudy took payments from Jack Abramoff and then helped to stop a gambling bill opposed by Abramoff's clients. When working as a lobbyist, Rudy helped arrange a golf trip to Scotland for Rep. Ney and others. Rudy is expected to enter his plea today in a scheduled court hearing.
One-by-one, the bugman's criminal friends are going down. It was bad enough for the bugman when Abramoff went down. Even though the bugman denies it, they were friends and Abramoff knew some of the bugman's dirty little secrets. Well, it gets even worse for the bugman now. Rudy worked in the bugman's office. If anybody knows where all the bodies are buried, it would be him.
Things just got hotter for the bugman. You know that part of the plea deal was that Rudy would be honest about others for the prosecutors. Bugman already has pending state charges in Texas. If we are lucky, he may soon have federal charges to deal with also. I can hardly wait!
