Just a few minutes ago, the unimaginably whack, disgraced former US Congressman and House Majority leader Tom DeLay appeared on Hardball.
Michele Bachman – we thought you had set the bar pretty low. You poor dear, you have been outdone.
But being startlingly unaware is a gift, and the end, where DeLay takes an electoral prospect pounding – priceless.
And once again, Thank you Tweety, for hosting the worst of the worst, and getting your ratings rocks off.

YUCK !
This one I had to turn off. It was truly stomach turning.
Digg this post!
Digg this post
yea me too,tweety forgot his MALARIA meds again,and lets this INDICTED dickweed spout off..fukyoutweety
“. . . part of the brilliant Republican majority.” WTF??!!!
DeLay just makes a talking-point cookie, with only enough conjunctions to hold the sentences together. Why isn’t he in jail yet, anyway?
And am I petty if I say that his hairpiece looks like greasy roadkill?
OMG that makes my ears bleed…..btw why don’t they ever mention the INDICTED former congressman?
Just overheard on David Gregory…… Did ya know that the Democrats want a crooked 2010 census?
Kind of funny since the GOP plan since they are loosing their shirts is to work on states to take over their Legislatures and Governorships so that they can do the Delay redistricting Tango and get back into power ……
well I lasted a whole 53 seconds this time.
never mind that your side is getting their effing clocks cleaned taking your advice Bugman, rully, just keep it up.
Tweety makes me puke,hope KO tears him a new one tonite
Marx called for the violent overthrow of the bourgeoisie and the establishment of a classless society. Obama wants to tweak the progressive tax structure. These Republicans needs to get a grip on reality.
oh, that hairpiece. Bald is beautiful, Tom. Bald. Is. Beautiful.
Tom Delay’s good bye speech at congress had some honesty in it. It displayed just what a despicable slime he is. It is all about winning for the rethuglian party. F**k the country it is the rethug party.
Done, thanks to you and egregious for the links.
Thanks newtonsur.
That is a terrible thing to say. Roadkill has way to much class to hang out with (or on) Delay.
Nice hairpiece dude, by the way, is that dandruff or roach droppings?
NOT petty, just honest. What a creep? The suit against him in TX has been pretty whittled down, but is still alive, last I heard.
708!!!
Now now now…….. per Molly Ivans….. Delay is part of the Texas “Good Hair Club” ……
Erghhh, I want to go wash my eyes out with Pine-Sol…
I have seen Matthews display periods of lucidity for up to 2 minutes but being a bubbleheaded dimwit is his usual MO.
Malathion man
newt!!
great catch. Is that “Hardball” or “Slimeball”?
But Delay was the bug man from Texas…… his former profession was an exterminator and he ran for congress to do away with any restrictions on the use of chemicals.
Yay, Debbie Waaserman Schultz let the little picsqueak motherfucker have it.
pipsqueak just like that little weasel Lindsay Graham
Debbie Waaserman Schultz made mincemeat out of that slimeball felon.
LOL!!!
And that was before he and his wife started their non-profit for children/orphans, I think, to help generate alot of money that appeared to be used for some of his exotic travel. A real mensch, to be sure.
OH And did anyone else see Scarborough whining like a baby on David Gregory’s show just prior? He was acting like a two-year old, claiming that Obama BOUGHT the election and condemning him for how much money he spent on his campaign. Unbelievable.
I lasted through the whole thing. I’m going to go sit in my big pot, and boil myself for twenty minutes.
He does it every day on his show.
How do you interview a guy facing indictments who had to resign in disgrace from Congress and not mention either one of those nuggets?
Oh, I know how… you’re Tweety…
Tweety has a love affair with Delay- he’s attacked other “guests” who have made milder charges than Delay- in this case he just sat there and smiled….sometimes one guy just has another guy’s number- Delay’s got Tweety’s. (Tweety still thinks that it improves his ratings to have Delay on saying outrageous things—I think he’s looney.
smoke some instead, here’s for the bug man
you sure that will be enough?
How did he that lying fuck John O’ Neil from the Swifties on over and over?
Hairball?
have that lying fuck on
tweets just can’t help it…. delay’s aura makes him all squirmy.
I wish Obama were a socialist. The day the U.S. buries the socialist “boogeyman” is the day that America finally grows up. Until then nothing more than an infantile nation populated with yahoos and dipshits.
Palin/Delay 2012
Citizen Raven:
I turned the fuckin’ thing off when the Bugman hit the screen…so I missed Waaserman-Schult. How do I get a vid of her response on Tweety? Will it be on U-Tube and if so how do I fins it?
good luck on that
Stand by
coming up
Does Tweety spit or swallow. I vote for swallow.
Thanks Newt. Glad I watched this BEFORE dinner.
I generally find the term “pluck Tweety” to be very helpful.
Yes, Tweety does have some kind of love affair with DeLay. I’ve watched him inteviewing DeLay in the last couple of years before, during and after DeLay’s problems with unethical behavior and he has always treated him with such respect and with kid gloves on. Wonder what DeLay has on Matthews; must be something.
Here’s the Hardball search on youtube, it’s got the Delay up already so we’ll see.
Dang, Newt, you’re quick with the response to Bug man!
How come you’re not part of Obama’s rapid response team?
thanks, newt! i think i’m going to be sick
my work is done, then
:~)
I think the term currently in vogue, newt, is “mission accomplished!”
;~D
Yeah, Tweety sphincter always relaxes when he’s in the presense of the Bugman.
here ya go Norske
sorry, you have to sit through his crap before you get the good Congresswoman’s response. there’s always the volume button
Still no Waaserman-Schults up but I’ll keep lookin
Damn, I never thought of going to the source. Duh!
Anyone catch perky Katie Couric’s probing questions of Mclame and Obama? Why and when was the last time you fired someone? What would you like on your tombstone? What was your favorite book? Boxers or briefs? Well she didn’t ask the last one but why not?
paper or plastic
Bring your own bag?
canvas!
To demur…I thought the book question was pretty good…Obama talks about Shakespear tragedies….McReader, Hemingway and fighting the communists. Yep.
Oh wait, they only do that in Europe and every other place in the world.
((( newt )))
* A Star is Born *
Actually, ”For Whom the Bells Toll” is about a leftist that is willing to sacrifice his life for a cause bigger than himself. McCain did recognize that the ”hero” is with the communists, socialists, the Republicans of Spain against the fascist of Franco.
I manage 4 and half minutes of that video and boy was it getting stupid.
Abraham Lincoln Battalion wasn’t it?
how anyone even loosely related to law enforcement watching Moyers’ Capitol Crimes – Update, has NOT put DeLay in jail is so effin’ beyond me
For those who
can’t bear to watch F*ckfacewithout TeeVee … ((( Debbie )))Abraham Lincoln Brigade
Deb.
I was struck by how much his whole frame of reference is about war. McMacho just wears me out.
The name ‘brigade’ is a misnomer. In the Spanish Civil War, a brigade consisted of four to six battalions. [1] American volunteers mostly joined the two battalions (the Lincoln Battalion and the Washington Battalion) within XV International Brigade. The XV International Brigade was made up of six battalions of volunteers from nations around the globe, topped up with Spanish conscripts. [2]
As time went on, the name Abraham Lincoln Brigade became used loosely, in the United States, as shorthand to describe any unit with an American component. Volunteers from the United States also served with the Canadian Mackenzie-Papineau Battalion, the Regiment de Tren (transport), and the John Brown Anti-Aircraft Battery. North Americans also ran a very well-organized and well-equipped field hospital (funded and staffed by the American Medical Bureau to Save Spanish Democracy).
[edit]
The TX case has already had several appeal stages because there were other defendants and there have been some issues about the law itself.
That said, there were people in his district who thought he clearly has been treated unfairly. He’s scum.
yes
hmm I saw this mess on tv. best part was Wasserman-Schultz’s response
opened up a can o’ whup ass on the punk didn’t she?
with all due respect
lol
Hmmm, who’s up for adding to Debbie’s excellent rebuttal ? Oh wait, I am … with the greatest of regard, every time DeLay defecates, he loses half his market value …
Eli liveblogs the speech
I want to know why this felon is still on the streets? What is the current status of the case against him in Texas? He is one of the most evil people on the planet and he is calling Obama a Marxist??
Why is that convict on the teevee? Can’t they find someone who isn’t a felon to head up their punditry and be the face of their party?
Why is this convict who participated in the shredding of The Constitution lying to me about how Obama, a Constitutional Scholar and Lawyer, intends to shred the Constitution? Send that asshole to jail, dammit.
And Matthews feels the chill down his leg, once again. Sigh…
OK, now I have the heebie-jeebies.
Debbie Wasserman-Schlulz was fantastic. She decimated Heather Wilson yesterday, Delay today, and she dispatches the rest of the shallow talking point reciting republicans with panache and most importantly, with facts. There was only one response she omitted, asking “Gumball” why on earth he would offer a platform for hate speech to a former congressman who resigned in disgrace and who was indicted as an accessory to felonious criminal activity in the House and in Texas. Giggling about the “all due respect” zinger Wassserman-Schultz closed with is a dead giveaway, Matthews knows that he blew it. We love Debbie, Keith and Rachel and their guests, but Chris Matthews will no longer grace our television screen because he invited Delay on his program…again!
I think I know who’s going to be on KO’s “Worst Person in the World” list tonight.
That was one sick interview. has the Bugman been mixing insecticide into his vodka? he must bee because he’s a lunatic!
I kept wanting to tell Chris Matthews, “Hey, she said “DUE respect.” And there just isn’t much respect due DeLay, is there?
What could she have said? “Mr. DeLay, who as far as I know is a vertebrate…”
“The former congressman, who in all probability does not have scales and green blood under his amazingly humanoid skin…”
The man is a wretch, a weasel–no, I go too far, I impugn weasels. A cockroach? OK, I can live with that. Lemme squish that. STOMP
