Shrub has "lots of confidence" in Delay? WTF?

[fooj]

This is one hell of a way to start my morning...

[aquart]

1. There should be a list somewhere of people he's had confidence in...

Look for it over there on that plate of toast.

[Justitia]

2. he has lots of confidence he will be as crooked as he needs to be -eom

[realFedUp]

3. He has "lots of confidants" in DeLay

As DeLay unravels so will all the deals
and the dealmakers....

6. Maybe shrub would like to defend this Delay list??

Gives looongggg list w/ examples for each....

-violates ethics rules at will – he has received four ethics violations -- and is a national embarrassment.

-embodies the worst of pay-to-play politics – puts big donors like Enron ahead of the rest of us.

-abuses his position as House Majority Leader to trample on the legislative process.

-accepted travel expenses from a registered foreign agent, in apparent violation of House rules.

-used illegal corporate contributions to disenfranchise hundreds of thousands of Texas voters with his anti-democratic re-districting scheme.

-uses tax dollars and government resources for partisan political gain.

-opposes any reasonable campaign finance laws, even disclosure of donations.

-shakes down small business owners for campaign contributions.

-received all expenses-paid junket from a lobbyist accused of bilking tens of millions of dollars from six Native American tribes.

-believes he is above the law.

7. it takes another crook to ignore other's crimes

4. Didn't * say he had lots of confidence in Kenny-Boy

right before * started distancing himself from Lay & saying he'd only "met him a few times." "I have lots of confidence" might mean "so long sucker"!

5. Translation:

"We'll be fine..we're just gonna hide behind Mama Condi and Mama Karen like the little wimps that we are until this here dies down or til our mamas figure out how to divert attention from what we done"

8. Didn't you love him inferring that bringing Hughes

back was RICE'S DECISION! OMG!!!

9. Well, yeah.

Shrub's less powerful in Washington than the Hammer.

10. I wondered when this was gonna happen. Same thing

that happened with Rumsfeld a few short months ago. Rummy's name was being dragged through the mud by everyone. Next thing ya know... * is defending him as a "good" person and it was suddenly all dropped.

Watch the robots(AKA: Stepford Americans).

If it wasn't so damn dangerous, it would ALMOST be funny.

11. You know in professional sports parlance

a vote of confidence by the owner is usually a kiss of death.
