1. "When the walls come tumblin' down"

thank you John Cougar Mellencamp

[goodboy]

6. that song fits great...I was thinking of Aenima by TOOL

Learn to Swim.

[proud patriot]

17. Oh that one works too

:evilgrin:

[goodboy]

21. you like tool?

[proud patriot]

29. Yeah , got all their discs

:headbang:

[Azathoth]

2. Looks like it's time for the GOP to re-change the ethics rules again

Who wants to bet they pull another midnight session like they did during the Schiavo fiasco?

[goodboy]

8. can't put anything past 'em...I think they'll just throw Delay over now.

[okieinpain]

25. well I'm trying to figure out where the christian in him is. is this what

jesus would do.

[Jack Rabbit]

3. I have a spacious retrement home in mind for DeLay

. . . a very secure place, although his neighbors might be a little rough . . .



Leavenworth Federal Prison from the website of Kent State University

[goodboy]

9. That place looks like a resort compared to where he should go...

What about GITMO.

[Jack Rabbit]

16. That should be reserved for real war criminals . . .

Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld, Rice, Powell, Gonzales, Wolfowitz . . . there are so many.

DeLay hardly seems so bad compared to them. He's just Boss Tweed with a Texas drawl.

[goodboy]

18. he's engaging in a war against the American people's health, livelihood

and security...gitmo might be too good for him now that I think about it. perhaps we should put him on the torture jet I've read about...maybe the saudi's would like to have a word with him.

4. Nepotism... Republican's best friend.

7. Odd Timing

Strange how all the dirt is coming out now. It's as if the MSM all got a memo that it was OK to run with all the Delay scandals. Oh well, better late than never.

[goodboy]

14. I'm inclined to believe you, Katie...maybe the terror alert is gonna go up

they'll do something to distract from this...I guarantee it.

5. Funneling money for personal use

by members of his family. Isn't his embezzelment and illegal? If he doesn't go down for this, what will take this cockroach down?

[goodboy]

11. Sunlight, and DU-Strength Fascist bug spray...do not Delay, SPRAY!

[Indykatie]

13. Reference to Dems

I saw one story that referenced a $15,000 payment for Services by Boxer to a company owned by her son. How ludicrous to even mention that as a way to make the case that the Dems do it too. The $$ involved pales in comparison with the $500,000 Delay's wife and daughter have been paid.

10. So, how'd this guy rise to the top of his party?

Good looks, great communication skills, and a concern for those who are suffering?

[goodboy]

12. same as Hitler...tell people what they want to hear, and make promises

you have no intention of keeping.

[PeaceProgProsp]

15. I think another part of it might have to do with having $$$$

and little regard for any ethical or legal restrictions on how it can be spent or used.

[goodboy]

20. obviously...why would he do this if he didn't think he'd get away with it.

[MollyStark]

19. You mean there was a woman willing to have sex with him?

They produced a human?

[goodboy]

23. I wouldn't go that far..it's an insult to humanity...pond scum has no

trouble reproducing.

[manly]

22. what a shithead!

What do you expect from a man who combs his hair with Preparation H?

[goodboy]

24. LMFAO! (nt)

[FrenchieCat]

26. Say Whaaaaaa?

[goodboy]

33. also Reliant, the crooked energy company under investigation, recently

threw delay's daughter a fuckin' baby shower...

that's right, a BABY SHOWER!

[FrenchieCat]

34. Get out of heeeeeere!

This better become big ass news! :wow:

I have it saved in my favorites now.

27. DEMS to DeLay: "Go under oath or resign"

HA! In my dreams.

This story will be dead in a week, folks. Enjoy it while you can.

28. How Long Is It Going To Take To Bitch Slap This Guy????

This guy has more lives than any cat I know and he's still out there yapping! Is that all it takes, just keep pluggin' and pokin' and hope everyone else will look the other way.

This seems to be his strategy and somehow the twit is still yapping! He's has his hand on more corrupt entities than any congressperson I've ever seen, and still the 5 ft. ugly man is hawking.

Time for him to GO! His karma is about to implode, it's hard to believe he can keep gassing for much longer!

30. Check out the freepers:

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1378128/posts

The topic is Delay but all they want to talk about is Nancy Pelosi, clinton/Gore, Dan Rather and they even pull out Carol Mosley Braun. LOL! They want to talk about anything but Delay. And this topic isn't about the wifey and daughter thing.:-)

[MADem]

31. He's actually trying to BRAZEN it out

He issued a statement saying that they were key players in arranging public events, or some such shit. $500K worth of public events??? Puh--LEEZE!!! The whole Protocol staff at the White House doesn't pull in that kind of dough, and they work a helluva lot harder!

32. NYT's reports it was "OVER $500,000".......

today front page above the fold NYT's article..."according to a detailed review of disclosure atatements filed with FEC and seperate fund-raising records.

Most of the payments to his wife, Christine A. DeLay, and his only child, Dani DeLay Ferro, were discribed in the disclosure forms as "fund-raising fees," "campaign management" or "payroll" with no additional details about how they earned the money. The payments appear to reflect what Mr. DeLay's aides say is the central role played by the majority leader's wife and daughter in his political carer."


eff me twice!
