And As The Benghazi Investigation Committee Fizzles …
Republicans have a bright idea and Tom DeLay is running it up the flagpole for them.
Tom, whose website is still begging for money for his “legal defense fund,” has taken to being the Tester Boy for the GOP. He tests the water for Republican ideas by saying outrageous things and then waits to see if anybody yells back Polo to his Marco.
The latest? We need another investigatory committee in Congress. Can I get a Hell, Yes?
Former House Majority Leader Tom DeLay told Newsmax TV on Friday that if President Barack Obama implemented a plan to require background checks on some gun sales by executive order and without congressional approval, the House should consider impeachment proceedings.
DeLay calls it “a healthy thing” for the House Judiciary committee to hold an investigation. That’s odd coming from a man who is a democracy hypochondriac.
Hey, guys, I am totally for this. House Republicans really do need to impeach another President. You know, it worked so well the last time they did it. I mean you have Congressman Mo Brooks wanting to impeach Hillary the day she’s sworn in, and Tom DeLay wanting to impeach Obama for something he hasn’t even done yet. We could have duel impeachment hearings! In stereo!
By the way, I missed this but last summer the City of Sugar Land, Texas, named the control tower of their airport after Tom DeLay. I tell you, he’s running again.
Thanks to everybody for the heads up.
Naming an airport control tower DeLay. Yeah, that works.
1Tom is such a terrific public servant that I hope he stays in Texas for y’all to enjoy for the rest of his natural life.
2Shouldn’t they have named something else after DeLay? The stem of a wilted daffodil, perhaps? A Slinky? Limp spaghetti?
3He is so much the archtype of slimy politics, he should have his face in Webster’s next to “scum.”
4That would be dual, not duel. You giddy liberal.
The Republicans have fully internalized the idea that impeachment is not a check and balance but instead it is simply a political tool to undo the results of any election they do not like. They are drunk with and for power and contradictory truth simply has no room in their world view.
In any just world they would be so blown out of the next election that there would not be a single Republican win.
5“Justice” is an unfamiliar and likely left-leaning concept, so no, the republicans will not tolerate it.
6There should be a special 2nd Amendment Award for politicians who continue yapping past their expiration date.
7If he ever does run again, I hope his opponent buries him in old videos of his performance on that dance show!
8They should have just named it Airport Delay.
9/s Don’t know about you, JJ, but I get up every morning, and literally hold my breath until I can read somewhere…. what Tom Delay has to say about the President of the United States. /s 🙂

Slinky, please.
I’ve always seen Tom as a Slinky kind of guy. Y’know as in Tom isn’t good for anything except the smile that comes on your face when you push him down a flight of stairs.
11Micr, I was trying to think of things much more limp than an airport control tower, but Slinky works for me too.
12The Select Committee on Impeachment? Oh hell, why not. It’s not like they have anything else to do like, say, THEIR JOBS! (Heavy sigh.)
13There you go, Micr. You win the internets today!
14Thanks for the laugh.
Golly gee! You get rid of one slimeball republican and up pops another. How can we get rid of them all in one fell swoop?
15Maryelle: Nunchucks. See article above.
