The New York Times had an article yesterday that described how the Republican Party is divided now without the iron-fisted rule of disgraced Republican Rep. Tom DeLay. This is entirely possible. For a long time, DeLay and his lobbyist friends kept everyone happy and healthy. Republicans were receiving trips, sushi (like Bob Ney), gifts, free meals, and other favors with DeLay's assistance. Now the illegal fun stuff has all but disappeared and the party-master will return to private life and possible jail time. No, the Republicans are not divided . They are depressed because---The party is over and the in-fighting will begin!
Speaking of Tom DeLay.... Harry Shearer found chit chat between Tom DeLay and Chris Matthews before they went on the air. First, you must read Harry Shearer's post here. Secondly, I want to highlight what Tom DeLay said in that conversation about Senator Hillary Clinton:
DELAY: Nothing worse than a woman know-it-all
Would DeLay rather return to the days of women as second class citizens? Do other Republicans dislike outspoken and educated women? How does Republican Rep. Deborah Pryce feel now that she knows that the man she adored and followed blindly feels that there is nothing worse than a woman know it all?
