Annals of Patheticness
Tom DeLay's lawyer pulled the old force-the-judge-to-recuse-himself-even-though-my-conflicts-of-interest-are-worse-than-his ploy today. (Of course, this just delays the inevitable, since this just goes to a superior court judge, and DeGuerin can't pick them. Neener neener.) In an effort to try and keep his own ploy from being used against him -- or rather, to keep from being revealed as a total hypocrite -- DeGuerin even claims to be a Democrat. Oh, really? DeGuerin a Democrat? Not where his political donations over the last few years are concerned, any way! From OpenSecrets.org: DeGuerin's 2005 donations (so far): DEGUERIN, DICK ATTORNEY 4/25/05 $400 HOUSTON,TX 77002 Recipient: Hutchison, Kay Bailey DEGUERIN, JANIE INTERIOR DECORATER 4/25/05 $400 HOUSTON,TX 77002 Recipient: Hutchison, Kay Bailey And here's DeGuerin's 2003 and 2004 donations: DEGUERIN, DICK ATTORNEY 5/14/03 $1,000 HOUSTON,TX 77002 Recipient: Hutchison, Kay Bailey DEGUERIN, DICK ATTORNEY 1/14/04 $1,000 HOUSTON,TX 77002 Recipient: Hutchison, Kay Bailey DEGUERIN, DICK ATTORNEY 1/14/04 $1,000 HOUSTON,TX 77002 Recipient: Hutchison, Kay Bailey DEGUERIN, DICK ATTORNEY 5/17/04 $1,000 HOUSTON,TX 77002 Recipient: Poe, Ted DEGUERIN, JANIE INTERIOR DECORATER 1/14/04 $2,000 HOUSTON,TX 77002 Recipient: Hutchison, Kay Bailey Oh, and wasn't Hutchison one of his clients? Why, yes, she was!
