In the category of ‘have we no shame’ the Bugman striketh again.
Former U.S. Rep. Tom DeLay suggested Friday that he may not be ready for retirement just yet, a day after a federal judge ruled that his name must remain on the November ballot even though he resigned from Congress.
DeLay, who came home to Sugar Land for a previously scheduled event, also criticized U.S. District Judge Sam Sparks’ ruling that the former House majority leader’s name had to remain on the ballot.
“For this guy to say he can’t tell where I’m going to be on Election Day, and that I am forced to be on the ballot, well, they may get exactly what they want,” DeLay told supporters to raucous applause. Sparks is a Democrat appointed by Republican former President George Bush.
Later, reporters asked Delay if he now planned to run. He didn’t say no.
“We have to wait and see what the 5th Circuit does on appeal,” he said.
Need I remind you that Tom DeLay “is awaiting trial on Texas charges of money laundering and conspiracy in a campaign finance case”? Not to mention, several of his aides are either indicted or under investigation. The fact that he can still engender ‘raucous applause’ from any group of citizens is a disgrace.
