Tom DeLay and the President Being So Chummy Today, Revisited

For the person who sent a note asking why the Dubya was giving Tom DeLay his blessings and accolades today, it's simple. Here's the Cliffs' Notes (and I wrote two of those books) version; Bush:

    - Needs Tom DeLay to force through the destruction of Social Security
    - Needs Tom DeLay to push through his disastrous budget
    - Probably can't afford to piss off Tom who probably knows a lot that would be highly embarrassing to the president and which the American public should know (and were Tom a real servant of the people, he would tell them, but he's not so it's a moot point)
    - Thinks DeLay will survive
    - Thinks he can win points from the nutcase wing by patting Tom's hair implants
