I'll stick to facts.

Reasons Richard Cohen failed: Nancy Pelosi is not the judge or a juror in the DeLay trial. She is not subject to the innocent until proven guilty dictum, which only applies to trials. She is allowed to look at DeLay's prior bad acts, more censures than anyone in the history of Congress, and say that he is corrupt.

Reasons Tom Delay failed" Because he is so corrupt and arrogant that he had to get caught some time.

Reason Beardedbruce failed: His premise has been invalidated is at least three different ways on this thread without an attack on him. This because "reasons Liberals fail" is such a pathetically weak and flimisy start to a discussion that it damned near falls down on its own.
