With Republican campaign-spending practices under investigation in Austin, U.S. House Majority Leader Tom DeLay blasted Travis County District Attorney Ronnie Earle on Tuesday for using his power for "vindictive" ends.

And still more
Texas PAC sent blank check to Washington

When Jim Ellis, a key aide to U.S. House Majority Leader Tom DeLay, was preparing to deliver money to an arm of the Republican National Committee, a DeLay ally in Texas had a blank check sent to Ellis with the amount to be filled in later.

John Colyandro, executive director of DeLay's Texans for a Republican Majority, said in a deposition that he had the blank check sent because Ellis had a meeting with Republican National Committee officials scheduled the next day.

It has been known for almost a year that Texans for a Republican Majority gave $190,000 in corporate donations, which could not be donated legally to candidates, to the Republican National State Elections Committee. In a single day two weeks later, the national committee cut seven checks to Texas House candidates totaling $190,000 in money that could be legally given to candidates.

1. partisan is Delay's favorite word

Anytime he doesn't like something, he screams it. I hope people are starting to figure that out.

[leetrisck]

2. So how does he explain Peolosi

getting fined (forgotten for what) in the last few days.

[Mithras61]

3. As far as Delay is concerned

partisan means they have the goods on him, or that it doesn't further HIS interests. Anything having to do with furthering Repuke (read Delay) interests is non-partisan.

[Fovea]

4. Hissing his defiance

like a cockroach defending a crumb.

And you know what happens to cockroaches.

[damnyankee2601]

6. Ooh, ooh. I know, I know.

Can I be the one that stomps him? Please?

7. We exterminate them right?

This is really appropriate seeing that Tom DeLay was an exterminator by profession. Maybe somewhere in the process some of that DNA got mixed into his little addled brain.

No offense to cockroaches that are actually a higher life form than hot tub Tom DeLay.

14. Like vintage Wm Burroughs

I think he has been using the product.
Pretty soon his talking Underwood will
write a complete denial.

But I figure he will get the senate seat
from Interzone and be back in 06.

[damnyankee2601]

5. So what if he's right.

Let's have more of this partisanship. Whatever it takes to get rid of that fundie real-eastate salesman.

9. Here's the ticket to get rid of DeLay

Send Richard Morris some money today or help him in District 22 if you live there.

8. You reap what you sow, Tom.

Go fuck yourself.

[neverforget]

12. subtle yet to the point! I second that sentiment.

"Go fuck yourself" Tom! :toast:

18. Eloquently said, David

I totally agree. :thumbsup:

[BR_Parkway]

10. Any DA investigation of Republicans is partisan politics,

but if you stick a Democratic penis in the equation, it's fair and balanced.

[salin]

11. ah - so you have no defense ... since partisan is your middle name

using it as a defense indicates that there is very little wiggle room.

(note: the "you" in this post = DeLay)

13. Donate To Richard Morrison!!!!!

17. Earle gets it

"Being called vindictive and partisan by Tom DeLay is like being called ugly by a frog," Earle said in a telephone interview.

Bwahahahahahaha!
