DeLay needs a power and influence fix - BAD...!

Delirium Tremens [commonly known as the DTs]

Delerium tremens is a medical emergency. It is an acute confusional state associated with tremor and autonomic dysfunction.

The essential feature, as defined by DSM-IIIR, is that it develops within one week following the cessation of heavy ingestion of alcohol or a reduction in the amount of alcohol ingested.

so, if alcoholics exhibit severe symptoms such as the DTs when withdrawing from alcohol use, whaddaya think delay is going through over withdrawal from power and influence...?
Texas' top criminal court agreed to consider U.S. Representative Tom DeLay's motion for a speedy trial on money laundering charges.

The state Court of Criminal Appeals, in a decision released late yesterday, gave Travis County District Attorney Ronnie Earle one week to submit a written response to the motions filed by lawyer Dick DeGuerin on behalf of the former U.S. House majority leader.

[...]

"Congressman DeLay's constituents, the citizens of the 22nd Congressional District, as well as the Republican delegation in the United States Congress are being deprived of the effective services of their elected representative as long as the charges remain unresolved," DeGuerin wrote.

i wonder just how many of his constituents are considering themselves "deprived..." for sure, tommy-boy is being "deprived" of his daily power and influence "fix..."
