Hammered!

Happy Thanksgiving!  Could Tom DeLay's conviction have come down on a slower news day?

From the New York Times:
As the verdict was read, Mr. DeLay, 63, sat stone-faced at the defense table. Then he rose, turned, smiled and hugged his wife and then his weeping daughter in the first row of spectators. He faces between 5 and 99 years in prison, though the judge may choose probation.  
5 to 99 years?  Probation?  I guess judges in Texas have BIG judiciary discretion.  Big.Like.Texas.
