I have pretty much ignored the political beatings that have been applied to Tom Delay (R - Texas) in recent months. I chalked them up to partisan attacks; in fact I thought if the likes of Oliver Willis and Atrios were trying to deal out beatings, the Gentleman from Texas deserved my support.

No more.

After seeing this response to the Porkbusters inquiry, I am ready to link arms with [shutter] Cousin Oliver and the rest of the posse that is looking for his ouster.

House Majority Leader Tom DeLay said yesterday that Republicans have done so well in cutting spending that he declared an "ongoing victory," and said there is simply no fat left to cut in the federal budget.

WTF! You’ve got to be KIDDING!!! What freakin’ planet do you live on? The Republican Congress has been extremely generous with my money. The President has yet to use the veto to trim away any of the bloat. With both houses in Republican hands as well as the Presidency, one would think that the budget would finally get under control, at least grow at a slower rate than if the “tax-and-spenders” were in charge. Of course, one would be completely, utterly, woefully WRONG!

I, thankfully, do not live in Texas so I can’t do anything at the voting booth. I pray that the voters in his district have the sense to boot someone this clueless, not to mention smug, at the very next opportunity. A Bernie Sanders (S – Vermont) clone would be better than a complete fool.

Update: Clearly when the 7 Deadly Sins blog speaks, Stuff gets done. Let this be a warning to all ya'alls, don't mess with 'da Sinner!
