First DeLay, then Karl Rove, then...Jerry Kilgore?

Hey, you gotta start somewhere!  First Tom DeLay, then Karl Rove, then Scooter Libby, then Bill Frist, then Dick Cheney, then...Jerry Kilgore?

Now, when do we get a mug shot of Jerry Kilgore for his eavesdropping scandal, or Bill Bolling for his role in the Reciprocal Group (the "Enron of the Insurance Industry"), or Bob McDonnell for the "nearly half a million dollars in campaign contributions, money that was funneled into his campaign by first passing it through a 527, Republican State Leadership Committee ? the same legal entity used in the whole DeLay/Abramoff/Vanderwall/Reed money-laundering scheme."

By the way, you know how many "degrees of separation" there are between Jerry Kilgore and Tom DeLay?  One at most -- Kilgore's good friend Congressman Eric Cantor (R-VA) served under Tom DeLay in the House leadership until just a few days ago, when DeLay was forced to step down.  In a moral and ethical sense, though, there are ZERO degrees of separation between Kilgore and DeLay.  Sad to say, but they're two peas in a pod.
