Well Ain’t This Just a Bucket of Cute?

Offering positive proof that they do not believe in the American judicial system, the rule of law, and juries in particular, the State Republican Executive Committee has suggested revolution.
Members of the State Republican Executive Committee will consider a resolution this weekend calling on Gov. Rick Perry to immediately pardon former U.S. House Majority Leader Tom DeLay, who last week was convicted on felony counts of conspiracy and money laundering.
The call for a pardon will be presented Friday to the SREC’s Resolutions Committee. If approved there, it would go to the full SREC. Of course, it carries no legal weight in DeLay’s case.
The SREC consists of two members from each of the state’s 31 Senate districts, and it serves as a board of directors, of sorts, for the state party. Members are elected at the state GOP convention.
“Not surprisingly, their major contention is not that Tom DeLay is innocent or wrongly convicted – which would be harder to do than shooting pool with a calf rope since he openly admitted several times that he is guilty – but instead they proclaim that former Travis County DA Ronnie Earle is actually Mr. Stinkypants,” Juanita explains.
We thought Juanita made up the Mr. Stinkypants part but after we read the resolution they wrote, Mr. Stinkypants is far more mature and respectable than what they did say.
“They called the trial ‘a mockery’ because Democrats were on the jury,” she says in amazement. “DeLay’s lawyer, supposedly the best in Texas, hand picked that jury. After trying to take all the black people off the jury, he was pleased with his handiwork.”
“I’m very encouraged. We have a great jury. We have a great case. Tom DeLay is a great client. We’re ready,” DeGuerin said.
“So, they weren’t happy with the jury that Tom Hisownself picked. Yeah, they are outraged that the jury did not include the entire list of the fair minded folks of the State Republican Executive Committee,” she grins.
They also want to do away with the law that allows the Travis County District Attorney to prosecute political crimes. People with neuron synapses generally disagree with that since Texas county politics could be become a hell hole of corruption by simply buying off the District Attorney.
The State Republican Executive Committee is the largest bunch of pissed-off white people ever to get together in one place since the Worldwide Gun, Knife, and Small Explosives Show in Lufkin, Texas. And boy howdy, they are hacked off that the guy who went from bankrupt business owner to golfing hot tub millionaire simply by being a public servant is being picked on by the American judicial system. That just ain’t right in their book.
“The real amusing part is to watch and see if Governor Perry pardons Tom but executed an innocent man. I guess that would make things right – execute an innocent one but make up for it by letting a guilty one go,” Juanita shakes her head.
This is Texas – where crazy is a trademark.
