Not the same thing, Wrangel didn't get indicted, nor convicted in a court of
law - just pilloried in Congress by Congress critters. Maybe he ought to go to
jail - but, he needs to be tried in a court of law first. You go be outraged
about Chuckie Wrangle all you want. I'll be content with being disgusted.

I'm not even outraged at DeLay. After all, it was just business as usual. But,
it happened to be illegal.

ENJOY!!!
