Future headline: Delay defense argues that Bush tainted jury pool AGAINST Delay...

Delay after receiving his guilty verdict:

"I mean come ON! The guy's approval ratings are in the 30s - what did he think his vote of confidence in me would do? Of course the jury came back 12-0 for conviction. Even man-dog Santorum won't be seen in public with him. George Bush's support is quite simply the kiss of death (literally in my case) - worse even that one's pro prospects after winning the Heisman.

Therefore, your honor, I respectfully request that you declare a mistrial due to the fact that Bush's support torpedoed me in the eyes of the jury."

You watch - it'll happen.
