My defense in [the money-laundering/conspiracy case] will not be technical or legalistic. It will be categorical and absolute.
Not content with immediately contradicting himself by filing to have the charges dismissed on a legal technicality, DeLay has subsequently plumbed new depths in both hypocrisy and legalistic weaseling. His lawyers presented the following argument:
No criminal money-laundering occurred because the transactions at issue involved checks... and the state law only mentions transfers of cash.
Another categorical and absolute denial of any wrongdoing by Mr. DeLay, which I'm happy to report the judge didn't buy at all.

You're joking! I can't believe they actually tried that!
