Hmmm. According to you, we're all heartless, soulless, evil, stupid morons who should have been aborted in the third grade. I think our relationship is already tenuous at best.

Well, they're piling on him because he's being such a twit today. You think this stuff keeps for years if you don't say anything about it?

I figured the noogies that the Dems are currently delivering are so provided such that he could be, you know, "wounded." Y'all want to keep him, toss him, be our guest.

Naw, I take it back. Please keep him. I'm with Ty on this one -- it should be the primary goal of the Dems to tie DeLay as closely as humanly possible to every single Republican in Congress.

Keep him, so that in the general, we can run videos of even Lincoln Chafee doing body shots off DeLay's ass. By that time, Smilin' Tom will probaby be in depositions for the Indian embezzlement stuff, which will be deconstructed endlessly on whatever shit replaces Crossfire.

You left out greedy and selfish.

My ego can only take so much at once.

TRA '86 was revenue neutral. You should read Showdown at Gucchi Gulch.

I miss bipartisanship. It blows me away how the R leadership (Frist, Bush, DeLay) seem totally unwilling to work with anyone who hasn't sold their soul. I understand unity but they are wacko. I wish we had Dole or McCain instead of any of them.

ETA oops. I said something nice about some Rs. I forgot, if I think bilmore is a short-sighted asshole I must think all Rs are that way. My mistake.

I know. I was disappointed when Kerry lost, seeing how willing he would have been to work with us on our tax cuts, and dumping Saddam, and all. Why can't we be more like you guys?

Interesting choice. I never went to 3rd grade.

Keep taking those tests. Don't give up.

*sigh* whatever, I don't know why I click, I had too much to drink tonight. You are a twisted, sad, bitter little old man.

Undoubtedly. (Except for the sad part, of course. I'm very cheerful tonight. But "twisted"? Fer sure.)

But I never confuse "bipartisanship" with "people who will do things my way, which is the only way."

DeLay would rather avoid bipartisanship to ensure that corporate contributions go solely to his side. If Democrats are voting for his bills, he figures he's leaving something on the table.

Our party does a horrible job of getting out the daily bon mots...er...gaffes... of Byrd, Pelosi, Rangel, Schumer, et. al.

Hell, I get* daily emails from the DNC misquoting our President/Senators/Reps/Governors, whereas I have to read Reynolds, NRO, Bainbridge, CQ et. al. to get the quotes from the other side of the aisle.

*Actually, the GF gets them and she shares my computer.

In the 2005 version of the Webster's Dictionary:

bi-par-ti-san (adj): (1) Requiring the majority to concede to the will of the minority, losing party; (2) Giving away something for nothing; (3) Destroying the reputation of a faithful diplomat and civil servant to curry favor with the United Nations; (4) Mocking a noble, theologian for being an "evil conservative."

Fuck this!!!

The man reinforces the notion to a lot of moderates that a fat swath of the GOP's base is trailer trash. Delay's Achilles Heel is his bloodline. Who he is, what he is, etc... a mean thug. Its amusing to watch people like Delay and Clinton, both from humble upbringings, reach such different levels. Delay's epitaph will be "low rent enforcer" - a Ty Dome of DC politics. Clinton will be remembered as the low rent son of a bitch who rose up to hoodwink everyone from Oxford to the Impeachment Inquisitors, and rode off into the sunset with enough bags of cash to sink a small fishing boat.

Bullshit. Delay and others booted Gingrich because Clinton brilliantly outmanuvered Newt on the budget impasse/government shut-down.

And because he whined (inaccurately) about not being able to talk to Clinton on Air Force One and (inaccurately) about having to exit the back door of the plane. And because he was secretly boinking a young committee staffer while the House was publicly frothing at the mouth because Clinton was getting a blowjob from an intern.
