President Says DeLay Is Not Guilty of Money Laundering<\/a> By Jim VandeHei, <\/p>\n

Washington Post Staff Writer<\/p>\n

President Bush said yesterday he is confident that former House majority leader Tom DeLay (R-Tex.) is <\/p>\n

innocent of money-laundering charges….<\/p>\n

“I hope that he will, ’cause I like him, and plus, when he’s over there, we get our <\/p>\n

votes through the House,” Bush told Fox News’s Brit Hume.<\/p>\n

It is highly unusual for a president to express an opinion on a pending <\/p>\n

legal case. [mjh: But commonplace for dimwits.]<\/span><\/p>\n

Bush also defended three of the most powerful men in the <\/p>\n

White House, all of whom have been the subject of speculation that they are losing clout with the president: Vice President Cheney, <\/p>\n

senior adviser Karl Rove and Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld. …<\/p>\n

Bush dismissed rumors that Rumsfeld will leave his post <\/p>\n

early next year. Asked if Rumsfeld will stay through the second term, Bush said: “Well, end of my term is a long time, but I tell you, <\/p>\n

he’s done a heck of a good job<\/em> and I have no intention of changing him.” [mjh: A week after Bush said <\/p>\n

“Brownie, you’re doing a heck of a job,” FEMA’s Brown was gone.]<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
