I chatted with Tom Delay last night

Published by Mike Stark April 12th, 2007 in Uncategorized

Asked him how we can get money out of politics and how he, his wife, Jack Abramoff, Ed Buckham and pals could spend $70,000 on a one-week vacation in England and Scotland… For a regular guy like me, struggling to make the mortgage every month, well, that amount of money spent in that short a time is just unfathomable. Further, to think that it was done by a person elected to serve - well, that’s just offensive. It makes me wonder who the real servants are - in fact, it makes me think you and I are the servants and Tom Delay and his cronies are the “let them eat cake” royalty class…

Damn, I wish I had thought to say that last night…

I would have loved the chance to follow up, but Bohannon is great at protecting his guests. I really wanted to ask if Delay was aware that the business owners he advocated for that used imported labor on the Northern Marianis Islands, did, in effect, if not in fact, actually kidnap their labor pool by enticing them to the island with the lure of jobs, and then providing no way off the islands after the companies broke their promises. Was Delay aware that women who got pregnant were coerced into abortions- if they didn’t comply, they lost their jobs…

That man is a really sick person. If you ever get the chance to meet him, look into his eyes. The term “beady eyes” was made for this man, but really, when I looked into them at CPAC, they appeared more snake-like and reptilian to me.

That said, I will give him this: he’s an accomplished oralist. I listened to him for the full hour last night, and he’s really, really talented at selling a sympathetic story. It’s scary.

umm tom…who exactly was the foundation that provided the trip?

if this is an official trip, i dont think the taxpayers would mind shelling out for coach seats

if personal…why not pay it out of your own pocket

the foundation was a cover for abramoff

You mean, “Why isn’t DeLay in prison… yet?”

What explains the failure of the mainstream media to cover the purge scandal for so long, and so many other scandals? Do you think somebody just set up newspaper editors to cheat on their wives, and threatened to tell if the editors wouldn’t play ball when they come back some day and ask for something?

It wouldn’t be that hard to do, when you think about it. People wouldn’t talk about it.
