1. Tweets probably thinks the news is about Lay.
The poor little fella gets so confused sometimes.

3. See this
http://www.time.com/time/magazine/printout/0,8816,1211574,00.html

Could Tom DeLay be headed back to the House? A source close to the ex-Congressman tells TIME that DeLay is planning an aggressive campaign to retake the House seat he quit in June if an appeals court lets stand a ruling by a federal judge last week that his name must stay on November's ballot--even though he has moved to Virginia. "If it isn't overturned, Katy bar the door!" says a G.O.P. official. "Guess he'll have to fire up the engines on the campaign and let 'er rip." DeLay, awaiting trial for money laundering, never intended to fade away. He plans to give paid speeches and has signed a deal to have his bio penned by best-selling author Stephen Mansfield. But to run, DeLay would have to raise money fast: his campaign fund has well under $1 million left. At least he knows his would-be opponent well: ex-Congressman Nick Lampson's original district was eliminated in a redistricting engineered by DeLay.

4. Tweety just compared DeLay to "the dead crazy girl" in Carrie...
...whose hand comes out of the grave.

Tweety, that's gonna cost you!

8. Truthout story.
Tom DeLay, the sequel? Don't count the Hammer out.

Although Tom DeLay has resigned from the House of Representatives and announced that he won't seek reelection, a source close to the indicted Republican tells Time that he'll run and run hard if an appeals court doesn't overturn a lower court ruling that has kept his name on the November ballot.

Won't that be a little difficult? Well, you'd think.

Indicted in one criminal case and floating around the center of another, DeLay could single-handedly breathe new life into the Democrats' "culture of corruption" theme if he gets back into the race. He's short on funds, as these things go -- as Time notes, he's got under $1 million left in his campaign treasury. Oh, and then there's this: When he hasn't been busy making beaver jokes, DeLay has been testifying under oath that he is a resident of Virginia and not of the Sugar Land, Texas, district he once represented.

13. In DeLay's case, we'll have to settle for driving it through his chest.

12. I realize he can't withdraw, but I don't think he can serve either!
I can't find the requirements to Represent Texas in the house, but I'm pretty sure one of them is that you MUST be a resident of the STATE!!!!!

My God, what's it gonna take to get rid of this guy?

A Trident missle shot up his fascist, evil, mean-spirited, corporate-puppet, money-loving ass? Where's the button?
