DeLay's Not Dead

Ari Berman

Tom DeLay is not dead. In Max Blumenthal's new video he appears at the College Republicans annual convention, offering an unconventional solution to America's illegal immigration problem: ban abortion.

"If you don't believe abortion doesn't affect you," DeLay told the youngsters, "I contend it affects you in immigration. If we had those 40 million children who were killed over the last 30 years, we wouldn't need the illegal immigrants to fill the jobs that they are doing today." He pauses awkwardly, before offering this gem: "Think about it."

Our own David Corn also ran into DeLay this week. Corn asked DeLay what he was up to. Trying to be the "Democrats worst nightmare," he answered. Didn't DeLay already have that gig?

He also said he wanted his old nemesis Newt Gingrich to run for president. That's just the boost Newt needs.

5. Why aren't young republicans filling those jobs tht immigrants do?

Why aren't young republicans in the Army and in Iraq? Why are young republicans great reasons to keep abortions legal.?

6. Responsibility of citizens

Delay et al, are in some ways just the symptom...The good folks in Sugarland Texas, or whatever the hell the name of that place is, saw fit to, of their own free will, keep choosing this anal cyst of a human being to be their legally (more or less) elected voice in our government. Getting rid of slime like Delay is putting a bandaid over the real problem which is how to get the misinformed/uninformed/hypnotized among us to wake up and decide to use their god-given brains. A daunting, probably impossible task (?). I am seeing some glimmers of hope; I posted one in my DU journal today about a surprising and encouraging conversation I had just last night with a right wing co-worker/friend, who now hates Bush, and is frightened at what he is beginning to understand is the loss of basic liberties.
