DeLay called Democrats "political hacks" the other
day. Like it's a dirty word. It was all over this indictment in Texas thing. The Democrats are just out to get him. Well he should know - he's done it to other people enough.

1. I sure hope...
We get to see the political body of this assklown twisting slowly, ever slowly in the wind.

I would build a slow mesquite fire under the hanging carcass, to give it that authentic Texas taste.

3. Molly Ivins will probably be all over this one.
I hope so. She has that insider thing going for her. Has known Bush since he was in high school and can't see him as a God. Wonder what she has to say about DeLay.

No doubt there will be more when further indictments are announced. :)

Cheers.

2000 and knew he was the devil incarnate..I was a greenhorn to politics,too.

I just wish so many weren't so willfully ignorant and fall for his bullshit.

Molly Ivins is the best..I imagine she does have some pertinent words for the immoral republican in the House.

Although, I see nothing yet on tom delay from Molly..here's her take on the next four years with repukes at the helm..

"In some circles, that will be seen as sour grapes. But in Texas, we've been losing elections to the demagogic triad of God, gays and guns long enough to be pretty cynical about how it works out.

I'm sure millions of Americans voted for George W. under the honest impression that he stands for moral values -- family, patriotism, faith in God. I'm sure it's the Democrats' fault that such a silly ruse is allowed to stand.

What Bush does stand for is nicely summed up by a rather common news story that got stuck on the business pages lately."

7. He's kind of like Newt was - just plain nasty.
And eventually it will bring him down.

He's probably seeing hookers right and left - well, right, anyway.

There are Evangelical bikers. I wonder if there are Hookers for God?

Edited on Thu Nov-18-04 05:52 PM by zoeb
Congress is changing the rules so a criminal can continue presiding over committees after being indited. That guy is lower than worm shit.

9. Have you looked at Talking Points today?
They have been calling Republicans to see who voted to keep DeLay in power. And the Republicans won't answer - they just dodge the questions. Guess they are too embarrassed to admit that if they didn't vote for DeLay they would probably get whacked.

14. DeLay is a hardcore CRIMINAL SOCIOPATH!!!
Hardcore criminals always blame, lash out, and retaliate against, the very people who try to put the criminal behind bars. DeLay is one of them; the only difference is that he was never convicted of a crime--even though he should have been!
For a criminal hack to accuse a law enforcement official of being a "partisan hack" reeks not so much of partisan politics, but organized crime in government.
