isn’t it gonna be difficult when your in sing sing? no doubt there’s an exterminator job just waiting for you, sooo, when your dance card isn’t all filled up with “big bubba love shuffle”, you’ll have time to lobby the laundry boy do put more starch in your shorts! baaahhaaawwahhbaahhwwhhaaa!!!!
April 5th, 2006 at 1:14 pm“Maybe,” he said with a shit-eating grin.
April 5th, 2006 at 1:14 pmOf course, said I, with a roll of my eyes.
I’m sure the Maybe is really…
“Well, I’ve got a good job as a lobbyist lined up assuming that I can avoid doing time.”

April 5th, 2006 at 1:22 pmONLY ON FOX: Right now on Fox’s Dayside, the topic is “Which Political Party Is More Corrupt?”
Like there is actually a debate about this…
April 5th, 2006 at 1:25 pmHe’ll be somebody’s bitch first.
Goper’s Lament (Hard To Be A Republican)
April 5th, 2006 at 1:27 pmHummm. Maybe he ought to start lobbying now. Like getting the government to furnish condoms to prison inmates. That way, he won’t have to worry about getting any of those sexually transmitted diseases down the road.
April 5th, 2006 at 1:28 pm#4 magnum – ...Fox’s Dayside, the topic is “Which Political Party Is More Corrupt?â€...
April 5th, 2006 at 1:37 pmany idea what their conlusion will be? hmmmmmm…
Pass the Vitalis.
April 5th, 2006 at 1:57 pm“If nobody in this House files an ethics charge, I am,†DeLay said in response to a question about McKinney. “Her behavior is outrageous. And it’s not the only time.â€
Let the snark begin!
April 5th, 2006 at 2:00 pmDelay filing an ethics charge against McKinney is his way of saying to the electorate “and you won’t have Tom DeLay to kick around anymore!”
April 5th, 2006 at 2:07 pmCan felons be registered lobbyists?
April 5th, 2006 at 2:11 pm#11 -
April 5th, 2006 at 2:27 pmLike Jack Abramoff?
Guys -We should all just let the Mckinney thing go away.
Talking about her is the republican way of getting the spotlight off of themselves and their corrupt and incompetent ways.
Next time a republican mentions mckinney – just respond with – Yes, Tom Delay is corrupt… or I agree, warrantless domestic wiretapping is against the law… or maybe You are correct, this is the most incompetent administration ever.
Try it… Its Fun!

Not that legal technicalities ever stopped Delay, Abramoff, Scanlon, Rudy….
April 5th, 2006 at 2:29 pmOf course he’s getting on the money train. He’s already been the conductor. Now he’ll be in the first class car every time.
I think we should go after the corporations that hire him.
April 5th, 2006 at 2:32 pm#13 – I’m going to do it, starting today. It should be fun!
April 5th, 2006 at 2:33 pmJust like I might take a few breaths today. Maybe, if he doesn’t go to jail, he’ll buy Abramoff’s old D.C. restaraunt and a fedora.

April 5th, 2006 at 2:55 pmMore on Tom DeLay: Right Now on LCL
Don’t current House rules prohibit Tommy Boy selling himself for fun and profit for a year after his “cut and run” exit from Congress? Or is there some handy-dandy loophole he plans to utilize? Nothing is beyond this felon-in-waiting.
April 5th, 2006 at 3:21 pmCan felons be registered lobbyists?
April 5th, 2006 at 4:13 pm“Mr Prison Guard, Sir, could i lobby you to put me in Solitayr for awhile? My “wide” here doesn’t like the noises i make at night…”

April 5th, 2006 at 4:32 pmg.w.superchrist 13 – “Next time a republican mentions mckinney – just respond with – Yes, Tom Delay is corrupt… or I agree, warrantless domestic wiretapping is against the law… or maybe You are correct, this is the most incompetent administration ever.”
EXCELLENT IDEA … might i add, or insert, “next time ANY TROLL mentions ANY DIVERSION – respond accordingly…
if you don’t mind i may copy/paste that elsewhere and often…thanks!
April 5th, 2006 at 7:25 pmOf course he’ll become a lobbyist (that is if he escapes jailtime). I don’t know who he thinks he’s kidding with his “maybe” comment.
He’ll also become a FOX News analyst with the likes of Newt and Ollie. Disgusting.
April 5th, 2006 at 10:51 pmCyra, I think one of the lobbying reform bill increases the lobbying ban to two years. Even more reason for DeLay to ski-daddle immediately.
April 6th, 2006 at 12:36 amTom is the best ever!
