NOTE: This is the second in a series of reports about Congressman Tom DeLay and why he must be removed from leadership and from the House of Representatives.
I am wondering when the Republican Party is going to finally have its fill with Tom DeLay. That this man is even walking free is beyond belief.
What short memories people have. They forget that DeLay killed a woman. Yes, he did.
It was many years ago. DeLay and some other Republican men were partying with some young single women. Their wives were at home baking cookies while the men were consuming mass quantities of alcohol and going after the young women's cookies.
DeLay took off late from the party to give a ride home to a woman named Mary Jo. Of course, he was in no condition to drive.
Well, you knew it would happen. He drove off a bridge. The car was in about six feet of water and upside down. DeLay made it out of there okay. Mary Jo didn't.
The really interesting part is that Mary Jo's body had very little water in the lungs. She didn't drown, but actually suffocated when the air pocket in which she was breathing was depleted of oxygen.
What did DeLay do? He fled the scene and spent nine hours trying to cover up the crime. Had he gotten help right away, Mary Jo would probably still be alive. Although his state required a certain minimum jail sentence for leaving the scene of a crime where there was an injury, DeLay's sentence was suspended.
This saga was so typical of DeLay. He was a drunk. He was kicked out of Harvard for having a friend take his Spanish final. At the time he drove off the bridge, he was driving with a suspended license. And he paid off Mary Jo's family so they would go away. Yes, DeLay got away with killing this poor young woman, and yet he still holds office.
What? Wait a minute, someone is interrupting me. Are you kidding? It wasn't Tom DeLay who killed the girl, fled the scene, covered up, and paid off the family? It was who? Ted Kennedy? Oh, okay. Never mind.
Thanks for blowing the next episode.
Killing someone is OK if you are a Kennedy or a Democrat. If you are a Republican and you spit on the sidewalk you go to the chair.
Congratulations! The headline over your "DFU" tag really got my attention! I thought perhaps you had suffered some sort of a mental break (or maybe I was inhabiting an alternate universe)!
The main problem is (among others) that the Massachusetts' "powers that be" have, in their hunger for a royal family, crowned the KENNEDY family in its totality as the main Royal Family of this country and that state. As a result, behavior from any one of them is indulged and tolerated that would get most of us put away. The wheels have always been greased for them, just as the wheels are apparently greased for the Royal Family in England.
Add to that the "gentlemen's club" of the Senate, and you get Teddy Kennedy. You see, when the people of Massachusetts look at that awful picture of the bloated Teddy on the yacht, they don't get the indulged, beached whale impression. They still see the dashing young aristocrat with the "brilliant political career" ahead of him.
I don't know if Delay can avoid being 'Borked' or 'Gingrichized', but it does seem like he is becoming the sacrificial lamb of the month.
doug, you really nailed it, well put! (I hope some DUmmies are trolling and choking on this one, we know how well they deal with reality...)
Now lets get busy on Soro's shadow government
Who gives a crap what the libs say - what is pissing me off is that RINO backstabbers that are more worried about getting one of their own rather than the lying filty racist POS liberals who are the real enemy in congress.
He has support from around the nation.
Meanwhile, I am wondering when the Olde Media is going to finally have its fill with George Soros.
They will never have their fill with Soros. They love him and see him as the leftist savior.
"Do we operate under a system of equal justice under law?
Or is there one system for the average citizen
and another for the high and mighty?"
- Senator Ted Kennedy, 1973 -
While hounding Gonzalez, Teddy ‘Swimmer’ Kennedy uncorked one of the most incredible quotes you will ever hear:
Now, the [Washington] Post article states you chaired several meetings at which various interrogation techniques were discussed. These techniques included the threat of live burial and water boarding, whereby the detainee is strapped to a board, forcibly pushed under water, wrapped in a wet towel, and made to believe he might drown.
Never mind, indeed. BTW, when did Delay stop beating his wife?
And here I was all ready to get mad at you, you ol' prankster.
At least I read it before I commented.
Good one dfu.
LOLOLOL!
As usual .. you hit the nail on the head!! Thanks!
