9. you know on the day he was indicted someone had a thread which still makes me laugh
"which prison gang should Tom Delay join" I think it was "the Aryan Nation" "The muslim brotherhood" and "The latin kings" swear it was hilarious.

12. LOL! He'd probably start networking all 3 groups, passing out his
business cards from his old exterminator company!

8. Swamp Rat. Howdy. So. You were holding that shot of DeLay in reserve
waiting for his sorry self to be dragged through the mud on DU's boards, eh?

I don't blame you one bit!

The squiggly roach legs jutting out of his lips is a damned nice touch, IMO.

32. I'm not good enough at math to give you the figure you'd have to bribe me with
to put a 'yes' option on the poll!

DeLay was strutting through Congress roughly a year ago. Those were nasty, dark times. I'm really glad he's out of there.

39. Yeah...it's good that he's gone...
and yet so many democrats still seem to be lacking their spines. Perhaps DeLay stole those on his way out, too?

40. I was a little surprised that he got caught. I had figured him for being
more crafty and under-the-radar.

But it could have been he got lazy and things got out of control.

The GOP leadership in both chambers has taken a tremendous hit of late. They've lost Hastert to retirement, DeLay to legal conflicts, Frist to his own haplessness and ego (he'll likely run for TN gov next time), and Santorum to electoral defeat.

Bam.

46. In a DU thread not three weeks ago (or so) I proposed we all unite behind
Gordon Lightfoot.

People scoffed.

36. Hat in hand and red-faced, asdjrocky, I wonder if you would accept a
belated welcome to DU?

It's offered in genuine welcome and would be genuine even if you weren't for the same candidate I like in the primary.

Welcome, and thanks for throwing in to this thread.

and Gordon Lightfoot and we get Tom DeLay and Harriet Miers.

It isn't fair.
