The "Hammer" gets HAMMERED!!!

(Reuters) - A Texas jury on Wednesday found former Republican House Majority
Leader Tom DeLay, dubbed "The Hammer" for his hard-driving style, guilty of
money laundering and conspiracy.

DeLay was accused of conspiring to illegally funnel $190,000 in corporate
campaign donations to Republican candidates for the Texas Legislature in the
2002 elections.

"The public officials people elect to represent them must do so honestly and
ethically and if not, they will be held accountable," said Travis County
District Attorney Rosemary Lehmberg.

DeLay, 63, faces five to 99 years in prison for the money- laundering
conviction and two to 20 years for a conspiracy count as well, plus fines. He
is free on bond until his sentencing in a Texas state court on Dec 20.(Reuters)
