Old rightwing politicians never die, they just clog up the court system and overload the IRS.

Five years have passed since House Majority Leader Tom DeLay resigned from Congress, and it has been 24 since the Texas Republican created a conservative grass-roots group that failed to take root.

But until last month, you could still make tax-free donations to that nonprofit, People Restoring an Internationally Competitive Economy.

“Yep, Tom DeLay always had his PRICE,” Juanita laughs.

The IRS finally has a law that allows them to take inactive nonprofits off the books.  Until then, I’m pretty sure that you could donate to Tom’s golf fund through PRICE.

Oddly, Tom DeLay says PRICE was his only failure.

PRICE, which DeLay described to Roll Call in 2003 as the only ambitious goal he set and did not meet, ….

Tom DeLay Fade Away

“Oh Dude, you better sneeze because your brain is dusty,” Juanita warns him.  “There’s that book that didn’t sell, and that pay-per-view website you had that only got 14 subscribers, and that grand foster home facility that now sits empty and going to seed, and whoa, Honey, Dancin’ with the Stars had to change their name to Dancin’  with the Wussies when you were on, and that jury verdict, and that Contract with America dealie, and the legal defense fund begging money that never comes, and whiny and pathetic speech you gave to the judge before he sentenced your butt to 3 years in jail, and the fact that if you go to www.tomdelay.com you get redirected to this squalor, and …. let me take a breath here.”

“Tom, Babe, wake up:  your life is a tribute to wreckage and failure.  So, like PRICE, it’s time for you to fade away.  Okay, fade away after you serve your three years hard time in a Texas prison.”

Thanks to Alfredo over at the Dairy Queen for the heads-up.

Gramiam and I have a little $10 side bet going that President Barack Obama is gonna make John Boehner cry.

I guess making Boehner wave a white flag and look like a petulant child is almost as good.

They don’t care about deficit reduction.  All they care about is keeping the tea party from killing them and then eating them.

I hear they taste just like chicken.

So far, three people have send me an invitation that they got from Sheriff’s candidate Craig Brady to be a “sponsor” at his upcoming “Team Roping Event & Dance” fundraiser.  You’ll remember Brady as the guy who is plenty proud of them there boots.

One of them, the funny one, commented, “Boy howdy, this is certain to empty out the entire trailer park!”

Here’s the invite.

And for $5,000, they’ll throw in a DWI lawyer or let you skip the whole social thing and spend the night in jail on your own liquor.

Bottles of liquor?  Are they generic or maybe somebody couldn’t spell Old Crow?

If I was you, I’d stay off the road that night because there’s gonna be some bottles of liquor consumed.  IF we could get DPS to set up a mile down the road, we’d make enough money in fines for Texas to hire back all those teachers.

Texas Governor Rick Perry has an odd bunch of friends.  There’s the guy who thinks Oprah is the anti-Christ, and then there’s this dude.

The website for Perry’s “The Response” lists Dr. John Benefiel of the Heartland Apostolic Prayer Network prominently on its website as one of the event’s endorsers, but Benefiel’s vision of America is one that excludes Lady Liberty and her evil, secular, French Freemason agenda.

Rick, please don’t show this guy Lady Liberty – she has a boob showing and come to think of it, so do you.

Thanks to Carol, Wynn, and Harry for the heads up.

Ron Paul will not seek re-election to Congress.

Let the games begin!  I see Tea Party Republicans all over South Texas going house hunting in Lake Jackson.
