"Is that the truck? My testicles have arrived."
My mind is reeling and my body is weak. Tom DeLay is a man of such breathaking chutzpah and such enormous testicles that I cannot believe he can walk down the street without the aid of a wheelbarrow and a custom-made canvas sling.
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.. . . .
Asked if that meant the government was running at peak efficiency, Mr. DeLay said, "Yes, after 11 years of Republican majority we've pared it down pretty good."
h/t Reason's hit and run.

I was willing to tolerate HML
I was willing to tolerate HML de Lay, if only because he distracted liberals from the real machinations...
But that kind of idiocy needs to be punished by swift, unmerciful death. What kind of blinkered, brain dead fucktard can gaze upon the sheer majesty, stupendous scope and bacony-smelling goodness of a budget that is north of one trillion fucking dollars and moving away fast and say, "Well, jazus, folks, us Republicans whittled that fucker down to size. Them liberal numnuts don't do nothing but spend, lordy." A mind capable of such thoughts needs 9mm ventilation holes in the skull to let the bad spirits out.
Just off the top of my head, there is the entire budget of the Education Department, HUD, Agriculture subsidies, NEA, NEH, NASA's shuttle budget, the IRS, and any building, program, agency or office that has the name "Robert C. Byrd" in it.
No fat? Christ almighty in a barcalounger! I have a yearly budget almost exactly eight orders of magnitude less than the fed, and I can trim some fat. A few less subscriptions to porn sites, no more yarn for Mrs. Buckethead, generic diapers for the boy, higher deductable insurance for the car, don't eat out for lunch so damn much, and stop getting the gourmet jams and marmalades. Can't trim fat. I am quivering with rage.
God put the republican party on Earth to end slavery, reduce taxes and beat up on foreigners. We did one, are pretty good on another, but are failing miserably on the last.

Murdoc, you wish. B, well said.
Except for the part about
Except for the part about mortal retribution against DeLay. That I can't get behind even in jest. Where I come from, lyin's not a capital crime.
But wearin' white shoes after labor day.... you better run.
Comedy don't seem to be Mr.
Comedy don't seem to be Mr. DeLay's strong point, does it?
It's not so much that I want
It's not so much that I want to kill him, but rather that I think he should be dead. A subtle, but real distinction.
The thing that cheeses me off is that this is coming from a republican. If Kennedy looked at a trillion dollar budget and said, "We've trimmed all the fat." we'd all laugh and make jokes about Chappaquiddick. You expect it.
For a Republican leader to say that - rather than aver that the budget is a compromise, we'll get more next year, a trillion is too damn much money - that's just offensive to someone who sincerely wants the gubmint to be smaller and expects at conservative congressmen to at least pay lip service to the concept.
DeLay probably is wearing white pumps right now.

Reality, neither.
What a friggin' moron - I find myself hoping the Austin DA finds an excuse to indict his moronic ass. Before, I didn't care one way or the other, but now, I think any alternative to such a maundering fuckwit would have to be better.
Well, anything but Sheila Jackson-Lee.

What a jerk. I've never been much of a fan, but this is astounding.
