And creates a whole new level of obstructionist behavior.

Washington Post reported today that DeLay has subpoenaed the DA who filed charges against him. I'm not sure how "rare" that is as a tactic, but this next bit really got to me:


quote:
Dick DeGuerin, DeLay's attorney, also asked that grand jurors be released from their secrecy oath so they could answer questions about the prosecutor's conduct.

I'm thinking we should change the national bird to the buzzard so we would be better prepared to swallow this rotting garbage without gagging so much.

Ooops I get it now--- a buzzard has wings and thus DeLay could "rise above..."

Hmm...

It's sort of a weird image if you are implying that he's riding the thermals and searching for carrion, though.

Ok, that's it. They're fired. The whole government. I'll be putting ads up on Careerbuilder and in Post Offices by the end of the week.

The Post Office also has a handy place to hang FBI's Most Wanted notices.

Well, when your own actions make it impossible to defend yourself, you might as well go on the attack.

If he's successful, folks might just forget what he was accused of.

They also would serve as good distribution points for the updated required reading list: Terry Pratchett. Specifically Going Postal.

*sigh*

Bullies make me sick. And that's all this latest tactic of DeLay's is - an attempt at high-powered bullying.
