Do you think they’ll figure it out?
TBogg points out a ridiculous online petition being circulated by the likes of Hugh Hewitt, Perfesser Corncob and others to cut off funds for the National Republican Senatorial Committee unless they pledge, in writing, not to fund the campaigns of any Republican Senator who votes for the non-binding resolution (meaning the little dictator can still do as he pleases) against The Most Holy George W. Christ’s compensation campaign. Gee, that sounds so familiar…
In 2001, DeLay contributed $70,000 and his endorsement to an opponent of Fort Bend County Sheriff incumbent Milton Wright because Wright refused to fire his campaign manager—the wife of a man who had sued DeLay and won a settlement years before.
On September 30, 2004, the House ethics committee found that DeLay had violated House rules in his efforts to pass the controversial Medicare prescription drug bill. The committee admonished DeLay for making an offer to Rep. Nick Smith (R-Mich.), who was retiring, that he would endorse Smith’s son for the seat if Smith would vote for the bill.
Incidentally, you should check out the petition. Some interesting names have cropped up recently…*snicker* Dick Pinch *snicker*
