How will the Tom Delay saga end

This is probably the most corrupt and amoral man ever to hold national office. How will his COngressinal career end?

I see him screaming through a window somewhere, holding a few assualt rifles as the helicopters buzz around and cops and SWAT folks surround him.

Deeee-licious!

POLICE OFFICER (in Irish brogue): Allright, allright, Tommy, me boy! Give yourself up, lad, and noo-body will get hurt. Why, what would your sainted mother be saying, now, if only she could see you!

TOM DELAY (in James Cagney-type voice): Ahhhh, lay an egg, Coppa! If youse wants me, youse gonna have to come and GET ME!!!

Where's Pat O'Brien when you need him?

And I can picture the coverage on the news:

Faux News: The harrassment of Tom Delay - This is why we need to get rid of liberals! Folks, look at how they are harrassing Delay for NO REASON WHATSOEVER!! Up next, the Michael Jackson trial. Stay tuned.

will be hold up in a barn somewhere in his congressional district. bush will surround the property with the texas national guard. Members of the Texas Air National Guard choose to go awol instead of firing on the barn. Bill Clinton will be called in to mediate. Kofi Anan calls for temperance and peace.

"And Bill Clinton will be blamed for the whole mess."

If Hottub Tommy suffers a downfall, it'll be at the hands of a face-saving GOP squad; not due to any effort from the Democrats. Don't expect the Democratic Leadership Cowards to do anything.

My beloved Chicago Blackhawks have, over the past several years, employed a good number of Russians, a couple swedes, a Wawa, a cherokee, and an African-Amercan, as well as dozens of Candiens, Quebecois, and US-born players. A less racist outfit you are unlikely to find.

I assume this is what you meant by that ridiculous epithet. Or are you an actual native American or Canadian? If not, when is PC hour over?

No, I'm not a native american, but I am an alumni of the University of North Dakota, home of the "Fighting Sioux" and I've been involved in protesting this injustice for some time.

with not quite a "censure" from the House - just some minor scolding -- and then he will be re-elected, though by a closer margin than before.

Second scenario - going for the bucks as a lobbyist/commentator also appealing - but I think his ego will make him "tough it out" - and THEN leave on his own terms.

the asshole will pardon the asshole.

be mostly unnoticed, thanks to a silent media and pay-offs to Delay for keeping his mouth shut. In a year or two, he'll be a resident "expert" on Fox News, and a regular guest on talk radio, ala Newt Gingrich.

Delay is a cockroach- if he sees that the odds are against him, he'll cash in and walk.

-- over the weekend & yesterday, I'd say the fix is in and DeLay will be asked to step aside in a closed-door meeting.

Drudge will assert an insider's feed, post it, and be doubted as usual. And rightly so.

The MSM will give it a perfunctory drive-through treatment and then let some other lurid story push it away from public consideration.

I go with your first choice -- DeLay will be on K-Street and the money will flow out to far right organizations all over the country.

your outrage on the lying greedy elitist pig, DeLay!

... he still has a ways to go before topping Mark Hanna, and the Teapot Dome boys. But, he's getting there fast.

Whatever end is spelled out for DeLay, I certainly hope it includes public humiliation, poverty, absolute banishment from further public office, being tied up in a hot tub, his testicles jolted with electricity while being forced to listen to recordings of Hillary Clinton 24/7, rotting marine serpents chewing on his gangrenous legs, putrid slime dripping on his head, while a long parade of every Republican in the country waits to spend twenty-four hours each listening to his screams.

No point in even mentioning what I have in mind for his campaign contributors....

Yup, that would do it.

:evilgrin:

listen in on a little of those screams?



:evilgrin: :rofl:

... get to go to the head of the line and get to hold $100 bills in front of his face just to taunt him. :)

but will either resign or be defeated from Congress. He may be allowed to continue his bullying from the outside, by keeping his RNC post as controller of party purse strings.

Or we may get lucky, and he'll be swept into the garbage completely on a tide of public outrage.

If there's any justice.

in Bushworld is that people fail up. Look at Rummy and Condi. And all the failures in the intelligence agencies...which led to....medals for the brass!
The mind boggles.
So, following this lead, Delay will continue to fail up.
Maybe he'll be the next Pope?
Why not? The rules get changed, literally, for this guy.

more than anything!
