I have wondered how these born-again christians can find any idenity with Jesus, who lived with the sick, insane, poor, females, downtrodden peoples,: the bottom up approach. Completely opposite from this administration that rules from the top down: in fact it seems to have no interest in the same types of people that Christ worked with, helped, cured,and brought back to life. As for the culture of death that the Republicans decry (abortion), what do you label people who believe, promote, and practice capitol punishment and the killing of Arabs (Iraqis?

Mike Wilson, take heart.  With the Chandlers and The Tribune at each other’s throats, there may yet be a new owner of the LA Times.  I’m sure that Bob Scheer would be the first to have his column reinstated.

I heard he is going to be a lobbyist.  Now he can do everything more secretly.  More to come.

Delay displays the darker side of human nature. History has a way of repeating itself through time.Who is more a threat to are basic freedoms , are enemies or are protecters?

re: #11731-Yogi Carpenter ...thinking he whips himself for liking porn

ROTFLMAO

Now lets drag Jews though the mud because so many of the neo-cons are Jews.

Delay’s behaviour and hubris is classic pathological narcissism.

Another interesting tidbit (thanks to Juanita @ http://www.brazosriver.com ) - Delay’s wife will be maintaining residence in TX while he is allegedly currently a resident in VA.  I know I’m a bit off topic, but geez! it’s always something with these people.

In one of his “farewell” speeches he also stated the “liberals ruin everything.”  Here is what this crooked republican lapdog meant:

What he is really saying is: “Your majesty, were it not for the liberals we:”

Would not have gotten bogged down in Iraq…

Could have completed our illegal telephone tapping program without the people knowing it…

Would not have converted a budget surplus into a record budget deficit…

Would not have increased the national debt to epic proportions, with you being the principal contributor…

Would not have had to leak information to protect your butt…

Would not have converted a most trusted nation into the most distrusted nation…

Would not have had to trample on the constitution with all those signing statements…

Could have completed all our illegal programs despite that “goddamned piece of paper”...

And, your majesty, well….there is more, but…..

Your majesty, most of this probably goes over your head, but maybe, just maybe, some of it gets past your crown and into your limited understanding, but count on me to stay in contact from my new cell as time goes on.

Your loyal, rabid right wing, subject, Tom

From roach killer to Killer Roach, ew.  buhbye.

Another good one by Scheer. I still don’t pay for the LA times. What rats to let him go!

so does he get the pardon along with skilling and lay. well i suppose he’s not convicted just yet. the exit remarks are in line with that solid christian and porno producer phil graham when he said rich people are not greedy it’s that poor people are so enviousness. so as their next PR stunt….........

We’ll truly miss ol’ Tom. He was such a villian!

Political perversion in the name of God and religion leaves me struggling uncomfortably with feelings of hatred of government.
Are there some good guys in congress that we could hear about that would balance my blistered ears and stimulate some admiration, gratitude and respect, is there anyone in congress that promotes alternative renewable energy generation as an alternative to slaughter and environmental disaster?
Is there anyone watching the “development” of the Alberta tar sands, currently described in America as second only to Saudi Arabia and “right in our own back yard”? I guess that makes Mexico our “front yard”. So much for sovereign nation neighbors.
Hey I know energy is the currency of prosperity but lets not try to get there by robbing the bank, (our neighbors bank at that).

The problem is, it’s not just DeLay. All of these so-called christians (small “c”) think the same way. Truth is, they wouldn’t know Jesus if they met him on a street corner, and he wouldn’t know them either. Real Christians don’t brag about their faith, they simply live it.

i don’t understand how so many people can support the criminal cabal which is the ruling regime in this country; one nation readily and entirely divisible because of the disingenuous godliness it touts. the power of willful ignorance is astonishing. i rely on truthdig to observe and expose hucksters like delay, hastert, reed, et al. would that more people paid attention to, and cared about the venality and criminality they could not help but see.

Dear Robert,

I find it disturbing that, as a liberal I cannot bridge the chasm between my way of thinking and that of the conservative Christian who thinks people like DeLay are so wonderful. How have we become so divided? I have always prided myself at being able to wear the other’s shoes, but here I can’t and it disturbes me. If anyone has any insights…

His influence will not stop with his departure. His kind of chicanery are too valuable in God’s Own Party.

TOM DELAY SPEAKING FOR GOD

A proxymoron !!

The arrogance is amazing. The gall is amazing. The twisting of truth into a pretzel is amazing. The former roach killer knows no shame. Like a general standing in the middle of his own dead soldiers, with a pall of black smoke hanging over his head and a white flag in hand, he still claims total victory for his cause, his God. I need to meet this right-wing God, ask him to teach me the ways of making corruption sound like benevolence. Amazing.

If T D is a christian, I want nothing to do with his “brand of christianity”.

Unfortunately, even if convicted, the available penalty is far short of what he deserves.

The image Delay has of himself makes it understandable why Jesus flipped the moneychangers table over instead holding forth with calm discourse. I can’t help thinking he whips himself for liking porn.

Thank you for reminding us that he won’t be going away.  I’m at least glad that he is out of Congress.  Scum.

DeLay belongs in a cell in Huntsville, along with Skilling and Lay…
