Sorry, I have to say it: Tom DeLay is the BIGGEST arrogant asshole ever.
I generally try to avoid namecalling, but I can't hold it in any longer. I've known for a long time Tom DeLay is no saint although the Right sure did paint him as one. But after three admonishments for ethics violations - after he fired those guys from the House ethics committee in order to divide it and make it virtually impossible for him to be nailed for his criminal behavior - and after seeing his generally slimy, slick, lying, wholly arrogant, divisive, partisan, mean, aggressive, sell-the-shirt-off-his-Grandma's-back demeanor, I cannot stand the sight of this man.

The Right had painted him as a Christian saint, but he is nothing more than a WOLF in sheep's clothing. The man really pisses me off and I would be perfectly happy to see him behind bars.

There. I said it. Thank you DU for letting me vent.

Let justice be done.

9. A very competitive field.
I am confident there are many waiting for the chance
to fill DeLay's shoes.

6. I'll second that and add that Tom Delay is bigger than any two
...of the next biggest arrogant assholes ever, and here is the proof:

Tom Delay Has Gone Stark Raving Mad
by hilzoy

Really, what other explanation is there for this?


"House Majority Leader Tom DeLay said yesterday that Republicans have done so well in cutting spending that he declared an "ongoing victory," and said there is simply no fat left to cut in the federal budget.

Mr. DeLay was defending Republicans' choice to borrow money and add to this year's expected $331 billion deficit to pay for Hurricane Katrina relief. Some Republicans have said Congress should make cuts in other areas, but Mr. DeLay said that doesn't seem possible.

"My answer to those that want to offset the spending is sure, bring me the offsets, I'll be glad to do it. But nobody has been able to come up with any yet," the Texas Republican told reporters at his weekly briefing.

Asked if that meant the government was running at peak efficiency, Mr. DeLay said, "Yes, after 11 years of Republican majority we've pared it down pretty good." <more>

11. Does anyone else remember the rioters in FL 2000
Hey let's not forget that a good many of those thugs that were rioting at the recount were DeLay's staffers. That bastard almost makes Nixon look Snow White.

12. The WashPost
Did a profile of him in its Sunday Magazine section a couple years ago. Apparently, his own mother isn't on speaking terms with him anymore.

14. No reason to apologize for saying it here - you're exactly right!
Yes he is the biggest arrogant asshole ever. Hopefully once again, the bigger they are the harder they fall.
