Which Part of "No" Is Too Tough for Hot Tub Tom DeLay's Pals in the Texas GOP to Understand?
I realize that Texas is not exactly known for its great schools or educational system, even before Georgie Porgie Bush came along and made the schools even worse during his six-year tenure as governor. But you'd think a word like "no" (two simple letters and a single syllable) could be comprehended by even the dimmest wit in Texas. Just a few weeks ago, a judge ruled that Texas Republicans could NOT replace the ousted (and waaaay ethically challenged) Tom DeLay's name on the November ballot for House of Reprehensibles.
But - proving No is too big a word for the Texas GOP to grasp - here they go again!
Texas Republicans asked a federal appeals court on Monday to let them replace former U.S. Rep. Tom DeLay on the November congressional ballot, but Democrats argued that Texas state law requires keeping DeLay as the GOP candidate.Dumb as dirt!
DeLay won a March primary before resigning from Congress in June amid a growing scandal. He is awaiting trial on money laundering and conspiracy charges connected to the financing of Texas legislative campaigns in 2002 with alleged illegal corporate money.
Barring catastrophic illness or other extreme circumstance, there is no legal way to replace Delay, Democratic Party attorney Chadd Dunn told a three-judge panel of the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals.
