14. Bwaaha! "The situation is that Tom's legal situation doesn't seem to

be reaching clarity," Rep John Kline of Minnesota said in an interview.

No, Repuke Kline--the "situation" is that your little pink piglike gang leader is goin' down!

[Botany]

2. May I please give you one

3. Undoubtedly...

His first scientificaly-measurable altruistic act.

Likely, considering the man, his last as well.

[tularetom]

4. His decision my ass

He knows which way the wind is blowing and he's quitting before he gets fired, the little weasel.

[Tom Joad]

6. Right. Soon he will not even be running for his seat, too. bye Delay .

[sduncang]

16. Amen!

He's headed for cover in an attempt to put the best face on this affair. He knew what was coming.

[ayeshahaqqiqa]

5. They knew Abramoff would finish off DeLay

as long as the scandal didn't appear to be big enough to hurt them, well, then catering a bit to DeLay was all right. But I think that Roy Blount, at least, has been drooling over becoming Majority Leader for a while (heard him talk of this on MO NPR station the other day, and he sounded like he really wanted the job). I'm wondering if his own scandals will make keeping the post an impossibility for him, though.

[Acryliccalico]

7. He probably got a visit

IMHO this gov. works like the Mafia. :kick:

[Jade Fox]

8. May your jail sentence be....

long and uncomfortable. May your criminality have a major rejuvenating effect of the politics of Texas.

[Fridays Child]

9. I (and many others, I'm sure) predicted that he would spin his ouster...

...as his own idea. I think it was just yesterday, when the story came out that Congressional Republicans were circulating a petition to keep him out of the leadership position.

[TalkingDog]

10. Damn! I was hoping he would hold out til the bitter end....

You know, like those last few "insurgents". He could have created a much wider rift in the (R) party that way.

[No Exit]

11. Is he going to spend more time with his family?

Such as his wife, who was also scamming?

The family that does time together, stays together.

[ellenfl]

12. he needs to be totally out of office not just the leadership position. eom

[NV Whino]

13. His decision...

with a little help from his friends.
:rofl:

[No Exit]

15. So how long before Bugman returns as an ultra-highly-paid lobbyist?

My, how the mighty have fallen.

Repukes blame "democrats" and "eeevil partisan Ronnie Earle"... but what choice does ANYONE have but to seek criminal penalties, when the repukes have closed down the polls to so many people, leaving them with no other way to remove these bastards??

[sduncang]

17. As soon as his parole ends..

[No Exit]

20. Oh... yeah... darn it, I forgot about that little glitch...

[Contrary1]

18. As I tend to do when things like this happen

I don my hip boots, and wade over to Freepville to hear the resident Repugs whine. I present to you what I consider to be the best comments from page one. I couldn't stand the stink to go any further. Made my day that they are reacting as I figured they would.

Enjoy!

That's what this whole witch hunt was about. To get rid of DeLay and yet again, the snakes have slithered out their way.

WOW!

I would love to see DeLay FIGHT this- only because this is just allowing the Dems dirty tricks to work- I don't want to teach them that they can get away with this crapt!

BUT_ I am very proud of DeLay- he is showing integrity and team leadership- by doing what is right for the House so they can move forward while he takes this fight on-and not leave them in libmo on Leadership--

I admire him more than ever now.....

Great. So without a fight, the Republicans let another leader get taken down by a bogus scandal. As far as I'm concerned, the entire Republican party should be fired en masse, not be allowed to re-run for their posts, and have new people compete for the vacated seats. This is just pathetic.

Because the limp spined Republicans (some of them) are more afraid of the dims and the media than they are of the terrorists. I would like to see who signed the surrender petition.

Yes, the Rats are excellent at this and deserve credit for their political acumen, disgusting as their methods are. That is why they are able to project influence that is far beyond the actual support they have. They are very good at singling out and focusing on Republicans who are especially effective -- Gingrich, Limbaugh, DeLay -- and working to destroy their reputations. Republicans, on the other hand, can not even bring down such bloated targets as Ted Kennedy, Robert Byrd or Hillary Clinton. Fortunately for us, our numbers are greater than theirs, so our side can make up in quantity what it lacks in political skill.

19. How ironic that the ONE group of people who thinks the Dems are

great strategists and tacticians are the Freepers! :-)
