    Hey, republic:

    I’ve been chanting that mantra for some time now. Nice to hear another voice.

    Hottub, nasty water, stir it up, tom


  5. the republic of stupidity says:

    Yes indeed, smadfdy… just 2 lone voices crying out in the wilderness.

    If there was ever a bunch that seemed prime for a RICO prosecution, it’s BushCo/the GOP. Maybe we should ask Rudy about that, seeing as he helped write RICO. Oops, he’s busy dressing up like a woman.

    Keep up the good noise!

    RICO! RICO! RICO! RICO! RICO! RICO! RICO! RICO! RICO! RICO! RICO! RICO! RICO! RICO! RICO! RICO! RICO! RICO! RICO! RICO! RICO! RICO!

    Heh. Please let it be true……please. :-)


  7. TripMaster Monkey says:

    Seems to be true, Zooey.

    Corroboration can be found here.


  8. Bob says:

    They musta gotten a tip that Jimmy Hoffa is buried in the back yard. How could anyone with a nickname like ‘The Hammer’ be anything but a nice guy on trumped-up charges?

    Right Righty McRight?

    #7 — TMM

    YES!! Woo Hoo!!

    DeLay, from the link:


    “The agents systematically searched our home, removing every book, turning over every couch cushion and every pot and pan, and rummaging through every drawer, file cabinet, cupboard and closet…”

    I love it, love it, love it…. :-D


  10. the republic of stupidity says:

    But, Tom, did they do a full body search, including all cavities?

    Tom – “Yes, they did… brrrr… cold hands…”

    …and hangnails…. *shudder*


  12. Styve says:

    At TPM, Josh said it seemed unclear whether DeLay and DoLittle had both had their homes searched, or if DoNothing had 2 homes. I recall that DeLay tried to manipulate his eligibility for House membership under House rules by saying that he lived in VA, and no longer in TX, so I do think that they each had their respective homes searched.


  13. Buck Fush says:

    Oh, this just made my day….YEEEAAAAAHHHHAAAA!!! Dig hard, dig deep. Although he knew they would do this sooner or later, and covered his tracks much sooner than this.

    Ouch… I wonder if they found any of those missing e-mails while they were at it, or perhaps Jeff Guckert’s missing wristwatch.

    Heh. You win this round…. :D


  16. JPark says:

    No republic, that wristwatch is gone for good.


  17. the republic of stupidity says:

    Sorry, Zooey, but I call ‘em as I see ‘em.

    Yes, JPark, I guess we’ll just have to say that poor wristwatch got Left Behind. Whose behind, we’ll never know. Much like “The Tell-tale Heart”, perhaps someday KKKarl Rove will be driven crazy by this incesstant ticking noise that follows him everywhere, night and day…


  18. JPark says:

    That is MC Rove to you, my friend. TDS brought that clip up again today (yesterday?) and I threw up a little in my mouth…again.


  19. Zooey says:

    #17 – republic of stupity

    The wrist watch got “Left Behind!?” Fantastic!

    I bow to the master…. :D


  20. Zooey says:

    UPDATE: Answer: No. It was an editing error by The Hill.

    Damn.


  21. JPark says:

    Speaking of which. Has anybody seen the Left Behind game? Talk about unChristian. Really, why would the “chosen few” really care about killing gays after they have been raptured into the bosom of their lord? Got news for you crispies, if you are playing that game…you are staying with us infidels.


  22. Perry Logan says:

    If we were right-wingers, we’d simply repeat the false story endlessly, all over the web, forever.

    You people love to jump before looking.

    ROTFL
