Jury Duties

Special Counsel Patrick Fitgerald spent some time in front of a grand jury this week, according to the Washington Post. We can only guess what he is presenting to the grand jury. We hope that he will bring indictments for all the appropriate people soon. There are a few people we hope will get indictments for Christmas.

Speaking of juries.....

The Dallas News said Bush daughter, Barbara, got a jury summons not too long ago. However--"Someone called to reschedule her jury service, saying she would be out of the country for the next six months, the judge said." Really? Is that why she has been spotted shopping? Next time you get a jury summons, try the Barbara Bush method. Unfortunately, I do not think it will work for you. If you don't report, in some cities you can be arrested.

Tom DeLay wants his legal problems to be solved his way and fast. From CNN:
The Texas Republican is seeking a quick resolution of the charges so he can regain his post as House majority leader when Congress reconvenes in late January. House GOP rules prevent him from serving in the post as long he remains under indictment.

Are there any other reasons why DeLay wants to get his legal entanglements behind him? With so much time being spent in court, it is difficult for him to work on his campaign. A CNN story states that he has a 37% approval rating in his home district. Way to go, Tom!!!!
