Tom Delay

Enron, Kellogg, Brown and Root, Halliburton – just a few of the names connected with Tom DeLay the salesman / Texas Representative from Sugar Land.
Recently a freakish storm ripped through Texas.
I’m not referring to the last election – I am talking about a snow storm that moved through quickly and dropped snow in place it hadn’t been seen in a long time.
Patricia Lucas, an 18-year-old student from Sugar Land, herself, put a tennis ball sized snowball on sale on EBay.
Potential buyers were told that the snowball was "in great condition, very clean bright white."
Just like her Representative in Congress Ms. Lucas advertised her product sight unseen. She didn’t include a picture with her EBay listing.
Even so, 27 people had bid on the tennis-ball-sized snowball with the highest bid exceeding $200.
There are at least 17 other Texas snowballs for sale on EBay at this time.
Mr. DeLay is selling Americans a snow job. He has been admonished three times by the House ethics committee.
He has askedHouse Republicans Monday change the rules so that if he is indicted he will not have to give up his leadership posts.
Mr. DeLay’s sponsors back in Sugar Land have no need of a salesman with no customers.
His cronies will probably allow Mr. DeLay to skirt the rules and hide from the truth.
In the meantime his snow jobs are still Americans just as fast as he can make them.
I think its time to put the heat on.
