Not As I Do

In 1993, House Republicans passed a conference rule that requires members of their leadership to resign if ever indicted for a felony that carries a prison sentence of at least two years. They passed the measure to demonstrate that they would not tolerate the ethical lapses that they claimed was rampant among the House Democratic leadership.

Well whaddya know, House Majority Leader Tom DeLay (Nazi-TX) is about to be indicted for various financial improprieties, so his resignation is imminent.

Wrong. Last week, House Republicans changed the rule so that DeLay would be allowed to retain his leadership post even if he is indicted. It's typical of these sad, hypocritical Republicans.

It is interesting to note that there are more Republican draft dodgers in Congress than Democrats, in number and percentage. So much for being tough and pro-military.

How is this for family values? More Congressional Republicans are divorced than their Democratic counterparts. And they worry about the instability of gay marriages and families. Shoot, the two House Republicans who are gay, Rep. Jim Kolbe (R-AZ) and Rep. Mark Dayton (R-FL), probably are in more stable relationships than their straight colleagues. Oops, Dayton isn't out of the closet. My bad.

The governor of the reddest state of all is gay. Gov. Rick Perry (R-Texas), who followed the dumbshit in the White House, was caught in bed (by his wife!) with Texas Secretary of State Geoffrey Connor (it's always the secretary). Divorce papers have been served.

Wow, divorced and gay - they're going to shoot him.
