The Texas Republicans just suffered a big defeat: The Texas Republican Party must keep Tom DeLay’s name on the November election ballot, even though the former congressman has dropped his re-election bid, a federal judge ruled Thursday. DeLay, the former House majority leader who resigned from office June 9, won the Republican primary for his […]
So how do the Democrats respond when it is one of their own in a criminal investigation? Simple: Add political banishment to the list of problems confronting Rep. William Jefferson (news, bio, voting record), ensnared in a bribery scandal that fellow Democrats hope to turn to their election-year advantage. “Democrats are determined to hold a […]
I just read Tom Delay’s farewell speech and now feel all misty. Aww the poor hammer – that victim of “the criminalization of politics”. How could they do that to him. Ok back to reality. If you want to read his last attack on liberals as a member of Congress, you can do so here. […]
By now I am sure most of you have read about Delay thinking Stephen Colbert is actually some right-wing journalist, even though his show is obvious satire and appears on Comedy Central.

Besides accusing Democrats of being more corrupt than Republicans, he made one assertion that is a flat out lie. Rough Transcript: Delay: The Democrats are going back to their constituents and urging them not to sign […]
Big plans: DeLay’s next mission is in God’s hands. Disgraced congressman has a wholly holy agenda (via The People’s Republic of Seabrook) Tom DeLay may look as though he’s finished because he is quitting Congress, facing a trial on felony political corruption charges in Texas and being targeted by federal prosecutors in the Jack Abramoff […]
A Good Swift Kick (via The People’s Republic of Seabrook) In general, I’m against kicking ’em when they’re down … unless really awful people are involved. I figured Tom DeLay is so awful, plenty of people would gang up on him and I could pass. Imagine my surprise when the toughest question one famous TV […]
Oh this is to sweet to pass up. Seems as though the folks over at Powerline have are really spinning Delay: Former Majority Leader Tom DeLay apparently has announced that he will not seek re-election in the fall. No indication, yet, of his reasons. It’s too bad, I think. DeLay was an effective leader, albeit […]
