pretty funny article……..

Surely confession plays some role in Tom DeLay’s brand of hyper-religiosity. If so, there’s faint testimony to the principle as regards politics in the former House majority leader’s self’serving new book, No Retreat, No Surrender.

DeLay has a lot to be sorry for. As he says not quite half-way through the book, “In short, I had become a self-centered jerk.” Fighting against almost all the external evidence, DeLay would have us believe there came a point when that wasn’t the case. On that basis the book belongs in the “new fiction” display.

Overall, DeLay offers himself up for canonization in the Church of St. Ronald the Reagan as a result of suffering the slings and arrows of persecution from the devilish Democratic troika of Reps. Nancy Pelosi, Rahm Emanuel and Patrick Kennedy. Of the three, only Emanuel is anywhere near DeLay’s league.

Co’starring roles as Beelzebub and Lucifer are assigned to District Attorney Ronnie Earl of Austin, who had the temerity to indict DeLay on state charges related to campaign fund raising, and to former Rep. Chris Bell, D-Houston, who broke (thankfully) what our author describes as “the seven-year gentlemen’s agreement” not to use ethics charges as “political weapons.” Truth and justice, you’ll note, are not allowed to rear their ugly heads in DeLay’s rendering of his role in the world.
