And From The Margin..... Tom Delay And Friends






The local bilge pump has dredged up some choice nuggets from ex Majority Leader Tom Delay( mugshot above ) and some of his fellow denizens of the poliical margins. Most of the griping is of the predictable sour grapes disconnected with reality variety and, as such, little deserving of notice. Bugmans commnts are interesting. He, apparently, thinks an 'extravigant' inauguration should be foregone and that the Obama's should just retire to the White House and have a quiet chicken dinner.

That's what he said. Really. Fried, I'm sure. A little watermelon with that? Absolutely no surprise, given Tom Delays leadership, that the GOP is where it is. Just keep talking Tom. The rapid disintigration of your party is an enjoyable spectacle indeed.

News Flash---- You Lost!

And so the whining continues. And the behaviour of those who cannot concede defeat, simply because they are too dim to see what has transpired of late. We have HOUSE MINORITY Leader Bonehead having histrionics over the lack of GOP Reps on House commitees. News flash. Thats what happens when you lose. On a consistant basis. Then we have Mitch McConnel blathering on about how Senate Republican's 'represent 50% of the American population'. Oh really? Please have a junior staffer crunch the numbers. Please explain how having 41 of 100 seats gives a figure of 50%. We are all curious to know the source of your 'fuzzy math'. And fresh on the heels of Arlen Spector deciding to be difficult over the Holder AG appointment we have David Vitter casting the only dissenting vote on HRC's nom as SecState. By proxy, of course. He didn't have the parts to do it in person. Now why doesn't that surprise me? Maybe he was getting his diapers changed.

Serious, serious cases of denial. You lost. Losing has consequences. Start dealing with them. Or keep losing. And that is just fine with me. Link below.....

Sen Webbs New Battle

Fresh off his success with the new GI Bill, Virginia Senator Jim Webb is taking on a new issue. And he may be just the right guy to do it. For too long the aproach to the criminal justice system has been adrift, subject to patchwork, feelgood quick fixes that aren't and usually make a bad situation worse. Part of the problem is that too many in the political sphere are afraid of being labeled 'soft' on crime. No one can make that claim against Webb and as such may be able to provide some real momentum towards reform.
