I didn’t follow the local trial, so I’m not qualified to judge the verdict.
On the one hand it would not surprise me to find out that he, like Charlie Rangel (whose dishonesty went for personal gain and so certainly should be indicted but probably won’t be) and a host of other as-yet-unnamed national pols, are guilty of corruption.
On the other hand, I do think DeLay’s indictment was political and so his conviction may fall in the same category. He’ll appeal. We shall see what the arbiters of the law (as opposed to politics and emotion) have to say.
THE TEXAS SCRIBBLER 
You know, Peter the Great once said that every supervisor* should be hanged after a year on the job without investigation and trial. Peter was generally known as a person who does what he preaches.
(*) I am using “supervisor” for lack of better translation only. General meaning was anyone in a post that enables corruption.
Heh.
