As if what Bush and Cheney did to America over the last eight years was not enough of a tragedy, here’s what McCain and Palin’s America looks like:
So we have McCain today getting his crowd riled up asking who Barack Obama is and then apparently giving a wink and a nod when one member of [...]
Meet Tom of Arc:
DeLay says that when, in the coming years, he is not fighting the indictment in Texas (he insists that he is not guilty) he will be building a conservative grass-roots equivalent of MoveOn.org. “God has spoken to me,†he said. “I listen to God, and what I’ve heard is that I’m supposed [...]
WaPo:
Prosecutors have e-mails showing Rep. Tom DeLay’s office knew lobbyist Jack Abramoff had arranged the financing for the GOP leader’s controversial European golfing trip in 2000 and was concerned “if someone starts asking questions.”
House ethics rules bar lawmakers from accepting free trips from lobbyists. DeLay, R-Texas, reported to Congress that a Republican advocacy group had [...]
The latest revelations about DeLay’s famous $70,000 family-and-friends golfing trip to Scotland and England in spring 2000 contain an unexpected bonus. They reveal Susan Ralston – who then worked for Jack Abramoff and who is now Special Assistant to the President and Assistant to Karl Rove – enthusiastically aiding and abetting DeLay and his [...]
Damn Hollywood libruls
Remember when Tom DeLay moved for a new judge because he didn’t like the one assigned to his case?
The defense…asked Judge Bob Perkins to step aside and for the trial to be moved out of Travis County. Perkins has donated to causes and people opposed to DeLay, and his impartiality might be questioned, [...]
Washington Post (12/20/05):
As Tom Delay became a king of campaign fundraising, he lived like one too. He visited cliff-top Caribbean resorts, golf courses designed by PGA champions and four-star restaurants — all courtesy of donors who bankrolled his political money empire
Over the past six years, the former House majority leader and his associates have visited [...]
I know that it’s standard procedure for politicians to lend support when members of their party are accused of something unseemly, but does anyone think it’s appropriate for George Bush to publicly vouch for Tom DeLay’s innocence before the trial date has even been set?
President Bush said yesterday he is confident that former House majority [...]
When Tom DeLay was first indicted, there were quite a few whispers about a coming leadership vacuum, with Congressional Republicans fighting it out to gain power in the caucus. But despite the rumors and speculation, DeLay seemed to have retained a lot of his power and prestige, even though he no longer was technically part [...]
It was eerie to see Tom DeLay’s mug shot from last week, smiling brightly and looking about as harmless as the neighbor who lends you his lawnmower and invites you over for barbecue. And considering how many people out there don’t know or don’t care about his various strong-arm tactics and numerous trips to the [...]
It’s going to be a looong week waiting for this to happen:
Rep. Tom DeLay will likely be booked in a Texas county jail this week despite attempts by his attorneys to bypass the fingerprinting and mug shot process.
While that’s enough to start a countdown, this quote pushes it over the top:
DeLay’s arraignment is set for [...]
