Thread Name: BS: Wit and Wisdom of Tom De Lay
Subject: RE: BS: Wit and Wisdom of Tom De Lay
Politicos (and others of us, truth-be-known) ought to put a Post-It inside their eyelids with the motto: "Please be sure brain is engaged before putting mouth in motion." But, yeah, DeLay is kinda icky.
During Bush's 1st run for guv here in Texas we were debating what to do with surplus revenue--where we could put it to do the state the most good. Within about half of his first year we were suddenly having a shortfall and debating which services to cut. Same for his run for Pres. Toward the end of Clinton's administration we were discussing how to most effectively disburse surplus moneys to get the most good for the nation. After Bush took office we were suddenly trying to figure out what educational, health, poverty programs to cut....
Talk about DeLay's business failures--Bush's only private sector success was a baseball team(sort of), and only because he got THE STATE OF TEXAS/Arlington to build his fancy ballpark for him...
Well, back to the drawing board.....             Tw
