Is that Slug finally going down?
I'm sure you all knew I was talking about Tom Delay. It seems members of his own party are finally waking up. Yesssssss! (forgive me lord for taking pleasure in this):evilgrin:

4. Ha, ha ha... unwanted attention, that is an understatement....
<snip>

At least six Republicans expressed concern over the weekend about DeLay's situation. They said they do not think DeLay necessarily deserves the unwanted attention he is receiving. But they said that the volume of the revelations about his operation is becoming alarming and that they do not see how it will abate.

I also like the reference to the thousand cuts, he deserves a stoning as far as I'm concerned!!!

5. If there's any justice left in this world,
Reed and Dobson will go down with him, since they were enablers in part of the scam against those tribes. It seems they were fighting another tribe's opening a casino and used Delay's connections to the tribes he was fleecing already to finance the effort.

These old boys are all stinking with corruption, and I sincerely hope I will live to see the toads all squashed into oblivion.

6. DeLay is el diablo!

He deserves to be locked up under the jailhouse. But even if the bastard gets convicted, he'll probably get a presidential pardon.

7. The only thing more beautiful than a Texan exhalting the fall of Tom
is an Alaskan exhalting the fall of Senator Ted (tm).

8. Talk about picking up steam.....
Daily Delay blog has a list of recent articles, etc..now that mainstream has once caught up with the blogosphere.

Heh, heh, heh..I was down in the Houston area last week and saw his streetside "office is this way" kind of sign...I say we need a roadtrip to watch those signs be dug up and tossed. At this rate, that may be next weekend!! Wonder what media diversion plan shrub has planned for when the dam bursts? Guess we see why he brought Karen Hughes back!!!!
