DeLay retires from Congress

Well, he might be evil but he ain't that stupid. (maybe)

I don't look at it as a matter of stupid vs. smart, I look at it as a matter of hubris. Tom DeLay is very full of himself and his pride could easily blind him in a case like this one. Unless he had a heaping bowl of humility flakes for breakfast yesterday, I can't imagine him stepping aside for something as small as an offer to pay his legal bills.

Still, I could be wrong and your hypothesis is accurate.
 
By dropping out now Tom can shift the money from his reelection fund ($1.3 million-ish) to his flagging defense fund (paltry $600k). Someone was thinking ahead when they wrote that law. No, I am not suggesting that the law was specifically written for Delay’s benefit.

Funny how this happened three days after his aid copped a plea.

How can expressing an opinion about a poltician in the "Politics, Current Events, and Social Issues" forum be inappropriate?

Ask jj, he has the complete rules of engagement for P & CE. He's just not sharing.

Tony, you sound a lot like Jocko, only different, if you get my drift.

You two are starting to get on my list of "political marriages to wish for".

I get it. We all have our faults, mine is to sometimes let morons provoke me into getting into pissing contests. Sorry.

Actually, Tony, it's not a contest. Just rank manipulation of a small and predictable mind, something you and jj have in common. ;)

I've never seen JJ engage in that kind of manipulation.

So now that you've lost, you have nothing but a weak ad hom.

More like, now that you've stopped making any sense whatever, there's nothing left but ad homs.

But I'm going to examine this hypothesis regarding the predictable downward spiral of your arguments; I think there may be something to it. I'll keep you posted, if you're interested.

Have you ever stopped to ask yourself why you're so easily manipulated by morons?

Just wondering.

Keep looking, Ace. Over there. Right over there. See it yet? No? Well, keep looking. Look harder. Harder.

You know what they say about not being able to spot the moron in the room, right? ;)
