Recycled Crap
The House Freedom Caucus is so far off to the right that you have to circle around left to see them.
Couple that with this week being the sixth anniversary of Tom DeLay being found guilty in Austin courtroom of money laundering and conspiracy.
And then add the cherry on top of recycling being a good thing, and you have —
Juanita Jean followers will remember Buckham as the “preacher” who was DeLay’s bagman. He was the first to set up what would become SuperPacs. He and DeLay schemed their plan out of a DeeCee townhouse, raising “secret money” from the Russian oil executives to influence DeLay’s vote on including Russia in the IMF bailout.
Buckram used some of that money to pay for a trip to London for DeLay and his family, including golf at St. Andrews.
Buckham pimped his influence over DeLay with The Alexander Strategy Group, a lobbying firm. The money rolled it and then DeLay got his cut.
He’s baaaaaaaack.
He laid low for 5 years and is now ready to make a comeback to the world high finance politics.
DeLay is still free and trying to make a comeback. I’m sure it’s only a matter of time.
Old political bagmen never really go away, they just slither through time.
Thanks to Chloe for the heads up.
Like K Street needs yet another reptile? Seriously. These guys – including DeLay – use only the undeveloped reptilian part of the brain! As a result, there is just no conversion possible.

“No, Dick! GOD, no!”

And fortunately for the world, dead since 1994.
3Micr, my father said, sometime in the 1970s, that one of his coworkers looked at a quarter and said, “I wish Nixon were on this coin.” Everyone else was confused: “But you hate Nixon.” “Yeah, but I wish he were on a coin, because then the SOB would be dead.”
He did make it onto a post-death stamp. Someone designed an envelope so that the Nixon-face stamp would be placed on a body behind bars.
4Freedom Caucus is an appropriate name for a group which consists of criminals who avoided getting put behind bars.
5Is there no end to the graft?
6I believe it was George Santayana who said: “those who don’t kill history are doomed to have it slither back.”
ok, I was just sort of paraphrasing there, but you get the gist.

Wow what a rimshot! George Santayana indeed. He who defined Teajahidist fanatics specifically and all other fanatics in general as “redoubling your effort after you’ve forgotten your aim”.
