So DeLay's mugshot a while back was nothing more than a picture of his high degree of being out of touch with reality.

That is the neoCon way.

Has anyone noticed the letter does not actually state he "quits" . . . the wording of the actual letter are typically vague and at the same time has that "poor lil' ol' me the victim" strategy. He isn't even man enough to say it outloud.

In a separate letter to Speaker Dennis Hastert:

DeLay said he intends to seek re-election to his House seat in November "while I work to clear my name of the baseless charges leveled against me."

Abramoff has pleaded guilty in two separate places and agreed to cooperate with each prosecutor in exchange for lenient sentences and the chance to have them run concurrently. In other words, one lenient sentence, but two separate prosecutions; I'm positive DeLay sees the writing on the wall now.

Don't know when that photo was taken. But the grin
is gone. The self-assurance is gone. All he needs is one of Abramoff's hats to complete the picture, and maybe a plea for forgiveness to the one true God.

DeLay's letter to Hastert is can be found here:

Tom Delay is a coward criminal, and I don't care if he leaves his leadership post.

It's time for that cod sucker to resign from Congress!!! Then he can face whatever punishment is left.

:laugh:

Doug

#4 Good post but wondering if delay may think the 'one true God' is bush...."pardon me". (perhaps that is what you meant, and I am not understanding) M4

And another one's gone
another one's gone
another one bites the dust!

Oh and by the way: Fellow Republican: Ney likely to be indicted

The more corrupt democrats and republicans indicted, the better....

Thank god for Fitzgerald being an a-political unstoppable war-machine.

Doug E.

Actually, Merifour, I wasn't being that clever. I meant the one God only Christian conservatives know how to pray to, and the one God only Bush receives messages from. Messages like:

"George, go kill people in order to liberate them."

"George, bear false witness to your trangressions."

"George, don't honor your earthly father, who knew better than to violate my commandments."

Something gets lost in the translation, because George always misconfabulates these messages and then catapults the propaganda.

He belongs in jail. Impeach the bastards before they destroy our country.

Termites & Carpenter ants are eating me out of house and home. Does Anyone Know a good Exterminator ?

Great news!! He certainly isn't smirking or smiling as before!

Pardon my French, but boo fuckin' hoo.

...Judge of Judges don't Delay or it will all come tumbling down

"Congressmen are actually now returning illegal gifts. I called the weather bureau, and sure enough, hell has frozen over." --David Letterman

who's going to give back Iraq ?
cheney or bush ?

So what!

So what! It's not like ,you know ,there Americans or anything !

Let's replay all the Rush Limbaugh clips where he said nothing will happen to Tom DeLay. What do you say now, Rush Limboob??? I guess we're all imagining that DeLay stepped down, right Limboob??? It's trick photography, and liberal propoganda!!!

The republicans have been infected with neoCon lies for so long they will not recover.

It is widely recognized that the purging of DeLay is not a substantial purging of neoCons from the republican party (link here).

A widespread purging by the Abramoff scandal and the indictment of Rove are basic needs. Then the quickly approaching election will be a great final purging and the republican neoCons will be out.

In '08 we will get rid of any remaining neoCons who have hidden within the democratic party.

Clearly Congressman Roy Blunt sent letters to help his buddy Jack Abramoff and his efforts to prevent new Indian Reservations from going into Louisiana.

Please read these articles and then send an e-mail or letter to the Justice Department asking them to look into these dealings, if they are not already on the top of their list of things to do!

#10 RLM...well being a writer and all, I don't know if your comments are tongue in cheek (g). Guess where I erred is that he hasn't actually proclaimed he is God yet, but I am sure that will be one the next E.O.'s he signs. Hopefully the astute bloggers here will catch that one and let us know when he declares himself Creator of the Universe(s). M4

#8 BB2 - I'm lmao here. That is the perfect song for Nov '06 and '08! Well...ahem...that is if we do indeed get a fair election, I realize that.

#17 MMIIXX - Great question. My answer would be that since they have the keys and now own it, they should be deported for crimes against humanity and sent to a fine suite in downtown Baghdad, never to return to the United States of America again, where they can reap their accomplishments first hand. Don't worry, they'd be received with open arms. Meanwhile this country will pick itself up, dust itself off, get out of Iraq (but we'll be sure to leave Bush and Cheney a couple of them unarmored humvees to use on the days they get to feeling really lucky), quit committing unspeakable international war crimes, and strive to repair the massive damage done to our honor and integrity as a wounded nation. Also help IRAQ build Iraq, not freaking Halliburton et al. This will take both political parties and a balance of power.

I wonder if I'll still be alive when we are again viewed as a great "civilized" nation. I sure hope so. They need to rot in jail, all of them. Wonder if Bushler and all his cronies realize what their legacy will now be - "the worst AND most dishonest administration in U.S. history". Way to go you morons. Don't any of you drop the soap!!!

Ranting this morning, sorry. Just all so sad and unbelievable. Delay is just a tiny tip of this huge iceberg of corruption. I guess only after enough tips are removed from the iceberg, will we be able to turn it over and see what lies beneath. I don't think it's going to be pretty.

#23 M4 - You said, "Guess where I erred is that he hasn't actually proclaimed he is God yet, but I am sure that will be one the next E.O.'s he signs."

omg that is absolutely the funniest post I've read in a long time. He already tried to make himself prez for his entire lifetime, so I wouldn't put it past him! You crack me up.

I am going to paste something written by a blogger named "Hunter" in response to a blustery defense of Tom DeLay by some dude named "Mark".

Hunter had this guy's number and this is posted in the spirit of "I Told You So." All credit to Hunter. I liked it so much I kept it on my desktop to read often. Without further adieu----

Bush Supporters of the Far Right: Cries from the Lake of Fire
by Hunter
Thu Sep 29th, 2005 at 15:18:21 PDT

At Blogs For Bush, which bills itself as the Whorehouse... er, "White House" of the Blogosphere, the ever effervescent Mark Noonan writes about the DeLay indictment:

As our Sister Toldjah noted earlier, the "indictment" of Tom Delay is entirely bogus - from what I've read, Tom Delay didn't know about the perfectly legal transaction he is accused of conspiring to make. We have now left entirely the field of normal political conflict and entered a twilight world where fantasy is presented as fact and the only standard of conduct is "will it work?". This is not the actions of a political Party engaged in seeking a majority - it is the action of a Party determined to destroy its opponents entirely and sieze all power for itself...it is, in short, the stuff from which civil wars are made...

I really do urge our Democrats to step back from the edge - you are sitting in a lake of gasoline and you are playing with fire. We on our side will only put up with so much before we start to pay back with usury what we have received. If you can't defeat Tom Delay in the electoral field, then you will simply have to accept him as Majority Leader of the United States House of Representatives - and you'd better start accepting political reality before things get really bad.

Mark... may I call you Mark? I feel when someone has shown me the insides of their own rectum, we're pretty much on a first name basis... I have some words for you.

Whitewater. Rush Limbaugh. "Drug Dealer" Bill Clinton. Swift Boats.

Vince Fucking Foster.

Playing with fire, you say? Because the indictments ringing Tom DeLay finally reached up that one, final step from his ring of closest advisers to DeLay himself? Because the SEC has launched a formal investigation into the same behaviors by Bill Frist that put Martha Stewart recently in prison? Because one of the single most visible, highest profile Republican money men has been indicted for fraud, is being investigated for client shakedowns, and has his close business associates being investigated for a mob-connected murder?

What utter cowardice. What pathetic anti-American pedantry. What laughable protestation. The crimes of campaign money laundering, of fraud, of conspiracy, the violation of the laws of the nation, to be answered with stern visions of potential gunfire if Democrats have the audacity to pursue it.

This is the world of the Republican Party, split open like a rotting pumpkin. Crime after crime after crime being investigated, all revolving around the Republican money machine. Every seed connected by the strands of money they share between them. Barely-laundered campaign money passed in the palm of every flabby handshake. Every player in boldface, underlined print in the Rolodex of every other.

And still, this same bottom-tier world of flag-waving supporters still obsessed over an extramarital sex act, but offended to the point of sad, blustering threats at the notion that crimes by gilded and worshipped Republicans are really still crimes.

Your party has set aflame the entire political landscape, and now, once burned, you warn sternly from the branches of a burnt-out tree about "playing with fire". You used the ashes of one of the great liberal cities of America, New York City, as war paint for your own sick, racist dreams. You shudder at a burning flag, yet are willing to snip-and-cut basic tenets of the Constitution as needed or convenient.

And now, you're outraged, not by any of the rest of it, not by anything that has come before, but because a few prominent Republican faces have --- shock of shocks --- been indicted in probes that have spanned years of investigation, and interrogation, and deposition. That, you say, represents the underpinnings of a civil war.

You poor, hollow, blood-painted clowns. Cheering the trials and failures of your country with the same pennants and giant foam hands that you wave at your favorite sports teams. Willing to accept the most outrageous of lies, if they are spoken from your favorite talking heads, and soothe your own notions of America for you, and only for you.

And as for the audacity of Democrats speaking up during this process... the redfaced, flatulent fury with which you declare Republicans off-limits to that which you so gleefully hurl yourself...

Welcome to the world of the politics of personal destruction, you tubthumping, chin-jutting, Bush humping gits. Welcome to the nasty and partisan world that Rush Limbaugh, Ann Coulter, Michelle Malkin, Hugh Hewitt, Grover Norquist, Newt Gingrich, Tom DeLay, and a legion of insignificant lowest-rung toadies like yourselves nurtured into fruition daily with eager, grubby hands, and now look upon with dull-faced faux horror.

I know you hate me, and anyone else to dares disturb the thin strands of alternate reality in which George W. Bush is an intellectual giant, Saddam really was responsible for 9/11, the economy is getting better by the minute, and we capture the most very important members of al Qaeda on a weekly basis.

But here's some advice. You'd better start hating me more. This is the world you forged and, unfortunately for you, I'm beginning to take a fancy for it. Welcome to the politics of your own party, finally sprouting from the ground on which you planted the seeds and shat upon them.

Step back from the edge? You poor boy, asleep in the back of the car the whole trip, finally waking up and wondering where you're at.

Swift boats. Aluminum tubes. Niger uranium. "Mushroom clouds". Whitewater.

Vince Fucking Foster.

You can't even see the edge from here. You left it behind a hundred miles back.

So don't give me chest-thumping crap about civil wars, if your politicians are indicted. Don't give me visions of a lake of fire, if all those who find you loathsome refuse to suck at your teats of scientific ignorance in the name of religion, racism in the name of freedom, and corruption in the name of the New World Order.

Get used to the world you have created, and the stench your worshipped heroes have unleashed.

It gets even better:

Doolittle & Pombo

Two more congressmen snared in banker probe.

And better yet!

FBI email says Abramoff case not over; 'Bigger targets'

Lets not forget that while this is about republican crime and cronyism, it hides an even more ruthless deceit: NeoCon crime conspiracy.

NeoCons, luddites in both parties are this corrupt all the way to Senator Joseph Lieberman. To ever get rid of them we will need a full purge in 2008 as someone suggested. And we're going to make it count.....no one is interested in these freaks in Washington anymore.

Feingold has signalled impeachment, and rallied support for the email I sent him:
Senator Feingold, Senator Brownback talk "Hearings" and "I" word.

To save skins you better believe Congress will turn on eachother and Bush.

Doug E

Doug #29

What did Feingold say to you? I've sent him a letter and didn't get any response, not even a form letter. Are you a constituent?

Yes his office wrote me back and said "We are going over all the comments carefully, please write the senator if any other concerns as he can not reply to emails."

So yes I did get a written response, in the form of someone at his office. Senator Feingold saw all the information myself and others offered him and decided to discuss with McCain (& now Brownback) holding hearings on possible impeachment.

NeoCons are in every office right now in the upper government, and republicans, everybody wants to get rid of them if it can be done!

Doug

Hey Tommy Boy, Don't Let the Door Hit Ya were the Good Lord Split Ya !

Definitely sarcasm, Merifour. Would God ask any of his disciples on Earth (especially a Christian) to define his commandments...to kill, to bear false witness, to dishonor his own father's policies?

That's the hypocrisy of the Christian right, isn't it?
Bush is God's chosen one, so they tell us, yet everything he does violates the teachings of God's Only Begotten Son. It's as if some Christian charlatan turned the Bible upside-down, read it while standing on his head, then declared that it made sense and that people standing on their feet were going to hell in the same pickup truck.

#25 ACC, thank you...I am glad I was able to bring some provide a little chuckle for you. I know how hard these last few months have been for you. I hope everything is going better.

#33 RLM I was referencing your first post #4 in my comment, just a little late (#23). I do understand your point in #10 and #33 is great....makes a wonderful 'mind' picture...lol. M4

Tell them that Jim Kreider has said that he will run if he has a million in pledges. Southwest Missouri could swing the Governor’s Mansion back to the Democrats in 2008 . . . but only if we GET ACTIVE!!!

Every four years we are losing the Presidential Race in Missouri because of low party visibility in Southwest Missouri. We ask the National Democratic Party to pledge $250,000 and the Missouri State Democratic Party Pledge $100,000 to a Jim Kreider for Congress Campaign. A Jim Kreider campaign could get a Democrat elected to U.S. Congress while organizing Democrats all across Southwest Missouri.

If they do not respond to the people the blood will be on Mr. Dean’s and Mr. Wilson’s hands when we lose the U.S. Senate Seat in Missouri this year, and the gubernatorial and presidential races again in 2008.

###
The proof is starting to come in --- hard and fast --- and when all the evidence is in --- it will show that Jim Kreider will win in November!

Speak out now and say Kreider needs to run for the half million people in Southwest Missouri and the nation!

EVEN REPUBLICANS in Roy Blunt’s congressional district want him voted out of office!

The Real Story of Blunt's Fall the tie to Delay and Abramoff
Post-Abramoff Mood Shaped Vote for DeLay's Successor

Click here to read the full Washington Post article:
http://www.washingtonpos...2/AR2006020202779_3.html

Check out the comments from Craig Hosmer, chairman of the Greene County Democrats:

Craig Hosmer, chairman of the Democratic Party in Blunt's native Greene County, said the setback may motivate more Democrats to consider campaigning against Blunt in November for a seat that the five-term Republican has generally won by a wide margin.

"This certainly changes things. It's obviously a snub to him to not be elevated in the chain of commend to be leader," Hosmer said.
