You Just Hush Your Mouth, Tom DeLay

I don’t doubt that Tom DeLay knows a thing or three about leadership and about being a deft legislative hand in Congress. I really don’t think, though, that he has any room at all to lecture the GOP over how they’re campaigning thus far.

Former House Majority Leader Tom DeLay may not be in a leadership position on Capitol Hill anymore, but that doesn’t mean he can’t weigh in on the current GOP leadership.

DeLay told Yeas & Nays that Republicans in Congress are “looking for something to believe in” and “they’re not getting it out of this Republican leadership. … The leadership just isn’t getting it.”

Pretty strong words from a guy who helped usher in a spending increase that, were it a movie monster, would make Gigantor look like Regularor. He also helped rubber-stamp the President’s Medicare Prescription Plan (which is the closest thing to socialized medicine we’ve seen since Medicare itself, presided over an almost unspeakably corrupt Congress, and who couldn’t manage to find any fat to trim from the Federal budget. Oh, and who could forget the travesty that was McCain/Feingold? That’s the guy who deigns to lecture the Republicans on how to craft a convincing message of leadership in which people can believe?

Pfaugh! Tom DeLay needs to hush his mouth. The reason he’s not Speaker of the House today is because nearly every time he exhibited “leadership”, we Americans ended up worse off.
