Bye, bye, DeLay

The resignation of Rep. Tom DeLay, R-Texas, doesn’t take effect until Friday, but he’s already complaining about those he will leave behind: USA Today quoted him as criticizing his Republican colleagues for “panic, depression and woe-is-me-ism,” and predicting they will lose control in November “if they continue the attitude they have right now.” But regarding the Democrats who’ve tarred the GOP as corrupt, he said: His departure “makes it very difficult for them to continue that strategy.”

    Delay is behaving like an animal with a leg in a trap: he’s biting, and snapping and yelping. Let Delay keep yelping all the way to prison.

    hee hee. probably really good dope grown by those lazy ass farmers who drive around in their big new trucks with a cup of coffee in one hand and a cig in the other. Except when they are jetting off on vacation or playing keno.

    heheh. but they do grow good dope. They sure dont buy those toys on subsidy money.

    Unlike the real corporate jets, board room perks, etc.

    corporate welfare = culture of corruption

    :) joe.

    Well I for one hate to see Delay go. I think he was doing a fine job as the posterboy for corruption in Washington.

    DeLay is scum and I am glad to see him go, good riddance. However, this is not a dem or rep. thing, it is systemic, the whole system is rotten and neither side has any moral high ground.

    PS: I love how the negro dems turn on their White counterparts to whine about race! rotflmosrfao

    Democrats Split On Jefferson SanctionsBlack Caucus Objects To Push To Strip Congressman Of Committee Post

    WASHINGTON, June 9, 2006——————————————————————————–Rep. William Jefferson, D-La., is resisting efforts by House Democratic leaders to remove him from his seat on the House Ways and Means Committee. (AP (file))

    Quote

    If action is taken only against someone who “is a black member of Congress, then our community will legitimately ask, ‘What in the world are you doing?”‘

    ——————————————————————————–

    Rep. Melvin Watt, D-N.C., chairman of the Congressional Black Caucus(AP) House Democratic leaders are determined to sanction Rep. William Jefferson, scandal-scarred but unindicted, despite a blunt reminder from the Congressional Black Caucus that he is entitled to a “presumption of innocence.”

    “It’s about to blow up in their face,” predicted Rep. Melvin Watt, chairman of the CBC.

    The North Carolina Democrat added Thursday night that black voters might wonder why a “black member of Congress” would be stripped of his committee post with neither rule nor precedent to justify it.

    The reaction heightened a controversy that has flared at the outset of a national election campaign in which Democrats accuse Republicans of fostering a “culture of corruption.”http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2006/06/08/politics/main1696632.shtml?source=RSS&attr=U.S._1696632
