And Take This Guy With You

Tom DeLay advocating treason on Hardball:

While we’re here, how does a disgraced ex-politician and suspected criminal get to be on television so much? And didn’t he preside over the House of Representatives through most of this decade during which the debt doubled and a surplus turned into a record deficit?

    I “tweeted” the same thing. How does this felon get any face time on telvision at all?

    Good bye Texas! Take all your cancer cells with you: Tom Delay, Phill Gramm, Halliburtan, Alberto Gonzalez, Enron, KBR, George Bush, Bell Oil, etc, etc, etc. And while we’re at, you can take Mathew McConaughey also!

    Why isn’t this asshole sitting in a prison somewhere?

    All I can say is get the hell out of the union. The sooner the better. Texas has been a pox on the US from the beginning. Maybe Mexico will annex them…nope, guess not, Texas has too many criminals, trash and low life politicians.

    From a board I post on:

    If Texas seceded – Things back in the days of the Civil War (the first civil war is what I almost typed LOL) were a bit easier and simplistic. Today the divorce would be messy. Mel Gibson’s would look like a Vegas wedding anullment compared to if Texas actually seceded. Armies of accountants and lawyers etc. Forests of paperwork. The US military, a federal entity, would want all its hardware back and all its troops moved, unless that is if we want to have THAT many bases on foreign soil? Than Texans would feel occupied and appeal to the United Nations. Then Mexico would have to invade to free Texas from their oppressors. Oh and also open up more drug trade routes. In the end it would be easier for the US military to point the weapons at Texans and proclaim:

    “These weapons and troops are staying right where they are, just like you. In the UNION”.

    And what would they call their new currency? I think the “Peso” would be a good place to start. Printed with the portait of their first President:Chuck Norris.

    And what about the Bush family? Since they are no longer US citizens, would that mean they would lose their government pensions and secret service details? Would it be time to move their libraries or should we just forget they ever existed and rename anything that ever had the name “Bush” associated with it? Isn’t there a big thing about to have a Bush tag? Oh yah. An aircraft carrier. Or how about LBJ? Same deal. No one would be allowed to like Ike anymore. That part of WWII would also have to be rewritten and the Interstate system renamed.

    Of course, North Korea, Iran and perhaps Russia too would probably be the first to recognize the newly formed sovereign nation of Texas, just to spite us. Even though the Bush’s live there. The newly liberated nation would probably NOT get a gift from France in the form of a Statue of Liberty to put in Houston Bay. Even if such an event DID happen, it would be more at at home in the Rio Grande anyway and this version would sport a ten gallon Stetson on Lady Liberty’s head, boots on her feet, 6 shooter in the air (sans torch), Bible under her arm and a wad of chaw in her mouth. Another idea would be to put her on top of a refinery with the natural gas flare off stack shoved up her ass so the torch (sans 6 shooter) could be the nozzle for the gas flare offs.

    Kennedy being shot would become the first shots fired in the rebellion. Lee Harvey Oswald would become a hero.

    Would all the major sports franchises be barred from US leagues or be allowed to serve in the same way the Expos and Blue Jays do?

    How about Texas Toast? Would that become the new Freedom Toast, since we are more cozy with the Frogs now?

    Would Interstate 10, 20, and 40 all have to be renamed for those stretches through Texas…or should they be rerouted?

    Would Texas automatically have a space program?

    Would NAFTA have to be amended or can we just include Texas with Mexico?

    Would the novelty Texas passports sold at truckstops on I10 suddenly become a real, binding document?

    Would anyone that flys Continental Airways have to go through Customs just to get a connecting flight?

    Lone Star Beer would go from being a shitty domestic beer to a shitty foreign beer.

    We would finally have to add Puerto Rico, perhaps by force, to the Union so we wouldn’t be forced to change the flag.

    If anyone can think of anything to add, keep ‘er go’n….

    The U.S. may very well expel Texas from the Union and perhaps manage it as a military district. They would not just “become” a sovereign nation, no matter how much that idea makes Tom Delay’s wiener hard.These guys fancy themselves George Washington and Sam Houston but it’s funny how not one of them has ever put their actual ass on the line for anything. Delay, the fucking coward, even in that clip tried to walk a fine line of saying Texas leaving the Union is possible while trying to not say he thinks it’s ok. Just say it, you fucking coward. Say you think Texas should be independent. Show us the balls you went teabagging with yesterday, you criminal fuck.

  • gypsy

    did you guys hear, i believe matthews, say “you really want to do that? you know how the us loves to invade foreign countries for oil.” haha…

  • Nanotyrannus

    And enough with this mythical Texas masculinity and patriotism. They claim to be better Americans than everyone else while at the same time saying they only came into the Union on the condition they could leave and, hey, they can leave anytime they want. Even Shrub made with the Texas Big Balls during his father’s campaign. “Amuhrca wants a Texan as president, they don’t want somebody from Massachusetts” like Mass is full of Commie Fags and Texas is where all the real men are from. This was made even more absurd by being uttered by a mental defective that wasn’t even from Texas. His cowardly fucking balls are from New Haven.It might seem like I’m piling on Texas but the truth is I love the state. It’s beautiful and full of, I’m sure, many fine, fine Americans that bristle at the nonsense that’s being spewed by a few idiots. But someone needs to call those few idiots on their bullshit. Matthews took the first shot, but these guys need to be told, in no uncertain terms, “TALK OF SECESSION IS NOT PATRIOTIC IT IS TREASONOUS YOU STUPID FUCKTARD.”

  • shogan

    as a native texan, this makes me feel ashamed. i have hoped that delay would stay in the ground, but, for some reason, he has emerged as some terrible ghost from political past.texas deserves better.

  • emPulse

    Why in the hell is this vocal MINORITY allowed to speak @ all? I don’t get it. You have the right to free speech, but it doesn’t give you the right to utter every batshit crazy thought that enters your head. Of all the Tea Baggery I watched video of I tried to keep an open mind, maybe someone would step forward with something I hadn’t thought of.. but instead it was the most paranoid nonsensical bullshitfest ever assembled on earth. If only they had volcanoes to chuck heathen liberals into, that’s the only way they could have looked more backward and terrified. Even the Texas succession thing doesn’t shock me.. get the fuck out then. And our new economy can start with the erection of a wall to rival the great wall of china, to keep them hayseeds as far from normal civilized people as possible.

  • A J

    I wrote Chris M. once about WHY he gives this wingnut felon one minute of time on Hardball.Obviously Matthews must be hardup for guests.And I notice that Chris doesn’t really challenge Delaid at all. Just lets him rattle on and on in that arrogant “I’m so right and you’re all wrong” tone of voice.Then Chris always says to him at the end that Delaid is always welcome on Hardball.I always throw up in my mouth a little.

  • robyn

    I love how a criminal gets on his high horse about Washington DC usurping power…YOU ARE A CRIMINAL!!! You are no longer majority leader because, 1. your party is awful and 2. YOU BROKE THE LAW…YOU ARE A CRIMINAL!!!The hypocrisy is enough to make me want to rip my hair out!

  • http://www.osborneink.com Matt Osborne

    It strikes me that DeLay might be serious about splitting into new states. He might actually be that insane.

  • emsique

    It may well be that the US is too big to exist and may dissolve into several smaller nations. I don’t think Texas should be allowed to secede. I think they should be expelled for giving us DeLay, Bush, Rove, Rick Perry, Houston, El Paso, Chuck Norris, The Dallas Cowboys, and all the no neck Bubbas that spew their ignorant brand of racist, redneck, moronic crap every time they open their mouths.

    I would try to defend Texas, but really who am I kidding? I’ve lived here my whole life and it just is not the place to be if you can’t stand this kind of shit.There are cool parts, so I think the best plan should be take Austin and it’s cool surrounding areas, and the one or two cool parts of the other areas of the state, and find a fuckload of helicopters to transport them into a more level-headed part of the country.NOW THAT’S SECESSION ONE CAN GET BEHIND!But, to be fair, don’t condemn the WHOLE state just because the majority of its’ citizens elect fuckwads to office.

  • Silly Ratfaced Git

    I agree with emsique.They can’t secede if they expel their hick asses.

  • MG

    a face made for… well, not even radio…

  • Gretchen Wingert

    As soon as I saw his face I HAD to switch the channel. Just when I think Chris Matthews might be coming around, he brings this horse’s ass back on for his opinion. Just shoot me now!!!!

  • nelsonzee

    The guy is a fossil…I don’t know why he’s still given such credibility. It’s infuriating! No, wait…he can’t be a fossil. At least fossils have some relevance to human life…

  • http://cgwaltney@mac.com cgwalt

    I LOVE watching that hate-filled tick. Matthews lets him burble on because each utterance from his smirky rat-face allows the viewer to see the true Delay.Let him speak.Oh, he is terrified of us in case you couldn’t tell.
