Not in Nashworld, unless you are a Democrat. Then, of course, it would be required.

He was held in contempt of the court in the Paula Jones case and when he did not contest it, he was fined $25K and disbarred from practicing Arkansas law.

IIRC that was a technical conviction.

Clinton did the crime, and he did the time - as was pointed out.

He lied about a blow job, got fined, got impeached, and got disbarred.

It's an almost perfect example. Rational people may say: "But he just lied about a blow job." Indeed.

And rational people may have issues with the fact that an investigation into a real estate deal became this giant partisan witch hunt costing millions of dollars and only ending up with a lie about a blow job - which ended up in impeachment....

But that's almost the beauty of it. Law is like a machine. Mechanisms are on automatic: If (a) happens, then (b) is the result. It's almost scripted, and most definitely deaf to its surroundings.

The law is not just a machine, it's also a tool that be abused and can be used to effectivly destroy people's lives mearly by charges being filed. It also can be used a political weapon. I couldn't care less about DeLay as a person, and if he's guilty I say throw the book at him.

I've had my doubts about this whole thing from the begining, when he was first indicted for something that wasn't even a crime. How jacked up does the prosecutor have to be to make that big of a mistake? After all of his efforts, he comes up with a charge that wasn't even a crime. Maybe he's a little slow on getting facts and details?

Then they come up with the money laundering charge as there SECOND best case, next to their fist choice which was not even a crime. I'm guessing they are going to have a hard time making a case. We'll see.

Anyway, it's funny to see Nash foaming at the mouth over it and jumping for joy as if the guy is guilty based only on  the charges that have been filed.
