You know, the camera doesn’t lie. Somehow, Tom Delay’s attorney got his mug shot without the usual height markings and numbers. There he is, just grinning away like a cat eating shit. Well, at least he couldn’t hide everything. Good ol’ Tom, he’s always good for a laugh.

In August of 1998 Tom Delay observed the sagacity of resigning before you’re convicted:

I just think that, if the president wants to put this behind him, then he ought to do the honourable thing, and that is to resign…. We’re talking about something that’s very dangerous, when the American people have lost the trust and respect of the president of the United States…. If he’s lied … then how can he stand before the American people and the American people trust what he has to say?

Anon’s question: Will he follow his own advice?

In October 1998, Tom Delay made this observation on the impeachment of President Clinton:

This nation sits at a crossroads. One direction points to the higher road of the rule of law. Sometimes hard, sometimes unpleasant, this path relies on truth, justice and the rigorous application of the principle that no man is above the law. Now, the other road is the path of least resistance. This is where we start making exceptions to our laws based on poll numbers and spin control. This is when we pitch the law completely overboard when the mood fits us, when we ignore the facts in order to cover up the truth . . .No man is above the law, and no man is below the law. That’s the principle that we all hold very dear in this country.

We hear you Tom. You know, you’re just slicker than deer guts on a gate post. Listen you can always go back to playing with them cucarachas in Houston.

Gosh, this just warms the cockles of my twisted little heart.
