Laugh Along, As DeLay's Spokeswoman Spins To The Bitter End
Edited on Thu Jun-08-06 09:56 AM by JABBS
Au revoir, Monsieur DeLay!

It's just a little bit ironic that disgraced former House Majority Leader Tom DeLay's fellow Republicans from Texas chose an expensive contemporary French restaurant in Washington, Le Paradou, to say goodbye to their colleague.

The private dinner was held Tuesday night. DeLay's official last day is tomorrow, closing the book on a 22-year career.

DeLay, of course, has long been on the bandwagon using "French" as a derogatory term. During the 2004 presidential race, DeLay would open speeches saying: "Good afternoon, or, as John Kerry might say, Bonjour." (An ironic snicker for DeLay, who like Kerry is of French descent) After former Sen. Tom Daschle (D-SD) criticized President Bush, DeLay fired back: "Fermez la bouche, Monsieur Daschle," telling Daschle to shut up in French.

Amazingly, DeLay spokeswoman Shannon Flaherty was unhappy with any reporter references to Le Paradou as French.

To find out the ridiculous lie Flaherty told, read the rest of the story at JABBS.
