DeLay: Bush credibility issue overblown

[Nambe]

WASHINGTON (AP)

--- "When you listen to the rhetoric, you start to wonder which side won. There is no margin of victory that could satisfy them. They didn't want to fight in the first place and they've spewed more rhetoric at President Bush than they ever did at Saddam Hussein," DeLay, R-Texas, said Tuesday.

"They think if they just get a little bit angrier, and a little bit meaner and a little bit louder the American people will start hating the president as much as they do," he said.

DeLay said that Bush "didn't lie. He didn't mislead anybody. His statement was accurate." The majority leader also responded forcefully to a question of whether Tenet should depart the government. "Absolutely not," he said. ---

1. Hatrack: DeLay-Reality Linkage Overblown

What a toxic, vicious fuck!

[jamesinca]

28. They are right, Bush's credibility is overblown

The fact that anybody thinks he has any is overblown. It is way out of control with these guys. They have no integrity, or morals.

[AntiCoup2K4]

2. And what the fuck would Tom Delay know about "credibility"??

He may very well be the only Texas politician who lies more than the Bushes.

[underpants]

14. I was going to say -Who knows more about credibility than Delay?

Puuuuuuuuuuuhlease

[Brazosboomer]

3. Ego?

DeLay is the LAST person in the world who should use the word "overblown." The guy is 5'4", but has a 6'8" ego.

Angry, mean, and loud? Oh please, just add "shrill" and you have DeLay's employment history.

[classics]

4. Overblown? AMERICAN SOLDIERS DYING FOR LIES IS OVERBLOWN?!

Im speechless.

I cant even imagine what depth of soulless greed it takes to believe that killing good American solders by sending them to die for lies is just something to be overlooked.

[Sushi_lover]

5. Surprised Delay had time for those comments

I thought he was busy making sure poor people didn't get any tax breaks.

6. Well, shoot, Tommy, if it weren't such a big deal,

you wouldn't be stickin yer helmet-head into it. If things are
so bad that they have to trot you out, we're winnin' for sure!

Truth, Justice and the American Way--is comin' back--
just not today.

[DisgustipatedinCA]

7. Didn't Lie? Statement was accurate?

OK, bugman piece of shit, explain this one:

"We gave him a chance to allow the inspectors in, and he wouldn't let them in." -George W. Bush (R-CT)

I'm trying to figure out how this statement, by any stretch of the imagination, is true.

[Neutrino]

8. Well, shoot, Tommy, if it weren't such a big deal,

you wouldn't be stickin yer helmet-head into it. If things are
so bad that they have to trot you out, we're winnin' for sure!

9. What credibility?

This administration is the biggest group of hypocrits.

Just a handle ful of years ago, this gaggle of holier than thou patriots got their draws in an uproar over a BJ. Oh it was so terrible! It was so awful. And they went after Prersidernt Clinton ful force with hammer and tongs. Of course they ignored the fact that no one person was harmed by that BJ. No one died. No government fell domestically or otherwise but the NEOCON rip-slash & Tear brigade kept at it and forced an impeachment trial. And it failed. Clinton was not convicted and finished out his term.

Now, we have a new "lie"! This time by the leader of the rip-slash and tear patrol, President Dubya. This time people did die. Americans, Iraqis, Brits, and God =knows who else. But the same pack of wolves who swolre up and down about how mightily they valued truth, now bands over backwards to pretend this new lie wasnt a lie and the wone who told it didnt tell it and like thew proverbial ostrich, they bustle around with their butts in the air ansd their heads in the san d as though it never happened.

Thats the credibility issue in a nutshell. A lie may not be a lie, depending upon who told it.

Thge LA Times columnist Robert Sheer today called for the impeachment of Bush and Rice. I agree.

[LibDemAlways]

45. De Lay Quote:" This is very serious....

We recognize the gravity of the situation."

This was the asshole mouthing off in 1998 about Clinton's sex life. He led the charge for impeachment over Clinton's "lie."
Now this moron, whose brain has obviously been destroyed by pesticide, decides that it's perfectly ok for the chimp to make it up as he goes along. This chickenshit chickenhawk who spent the Vietnam years spraying bugs in Texas has blood on his hands along with every other politician who went along with the junta's outrageous lies.

[DoveTurnedHawk]

10. Overblow THIS, DeLay!

:puke:

DTH

[karlschneider]

11. Me: DeLay credibility an oxymoron.

:grr:

[MostlyBlackCat2]

12. OVERBLOWN!?

I'm getting really SICK of hearing these guys use that term. Like IMPEACHING a president for lying about his sex life wasn't a bit much? overblown indeed.

[0007]

13. cough cough

Did big dick trot this little prick out?

[PROGRESSIVE1]

15. The statement "was accurate"...

It was a lie, a damn lie!!! It was put in the SOTU address to scare the masses into supporting this little venture!!!
Not just Bush, but this entire administration LIED!!!


:wtf:

[phillybri]

16. By his logic....

Republicans gave Clinton more shit than they did to Slobodan Milosevic!!!!!

Asshole...

[FubarFly]

31. And all the while, Osama is laughing. n/t

[underpants]

17. "They think if just ge a little bit angrier..." Who does that sound like?

The answer only cost you and me $80 Million

"They think if they just get a little bit angrier, and a little bit meaner and a little bit louder the American people will start hating the president as much as they do," he said.

[shanti]

30. who exactly is this big "THEY"

inquiring minds want to know!

[Nottingham]

18. Tom do you know what the Word MEANS!!!!!!!!! CREDIBLE! not

INCREDIBLE!! :bounce:

[Nottingham]

19. Tom do you know what the Word MEANS!!!!!!!!! CREDIBLE! not

INCREDIBLE!! :bounce:

[wtmusic]

20. You're right T.D.

There's no margin of victory that could satisfy me in a goddamn illegal war that killed 20 thousand people. About all that could satisfy me would be sending you to prison along with * and the rest of your wingnut friends.

Wake up and smell the coffee. Americans won't stand for lying and foreign aggression, regardless the perpetrators.

[Skittles]

21. well I'm sure it's overblown to YOU, you LYING BASTARD

ugh

[Parche]

22. angrier

Well then lets get MORE angrier and maybe the people will see that
too and get angry like they should be.

[demgrrrll]

23. They ALL know they need to smooch Tenet's ass he knows too much.

I like Ruppert the Into The Wilderness guy who wrote "its like a chess game where black has made a fatal error but does not know it yet." He wrote that they will probably make about 20 more moves before they realize how screwed they are. He also wrote that * could have dispatched this by admitting his involvement and rolling a few heads but because he had to blame someone else he dug a deeper hole and will not be able to extricate himself from this mess.

[snippy]

46. I think the Senate republicans are going to blame everything, including

the pretzel, on Tenet and demand his resignation or firing. And I think Tenet will fall on his sword.

[Richardo]

24. Keep telling yourself that, you extortionist bastard...

There's a good boy.

25. projection

n.

8. Psychology.

a. The attribution of one's own attitudes, feelings, or suppositions to others: “Even trained anthropologists have been guilty of unconscious projection—of clothing the subjects of their research in theories brought with them into the field” (Alex Shoumatoff).

b. The attribution of one's own attitudes, feelings, or desires to someone or something as a naive or unconscious defense against anxiety or guilt.

The American Heritage® Dictionary of the English Language, Fourth Edition

[JoFerret]

42. Projection is the key

psychological term for their behavior. Listen to what they accuse others of - and through that know what they have done and are planning to do.

[samsingh]

26. delay must have meant

Bush credibility overblown

[tom_paine]

27. To be expected

One might as well have expected the head Nazi in the Reichstag to badmouth Hitler, or Molotov to badmouth Stalin.

Same principle. Exact same principle.

"And suddenly, the pigs and men were indistinguishable from one another."
--George Orwell, "Animal Farm" recognizing that Totalitarianism follows the same well-worn paths even when it dresses in Bright New Clothes

[snippy]

29. This part is from the republican playbook during Clinton's presidency.

"They think if they just get a little bit angrier, and a little bit meaner and a little bit louder the American people will start hating the president as much as they do," he said.

Even though DeLay may be the most vile, foul, evil, scrofulous, corrupt,and criminal piece of filth in American political history and he typically turns the stomachs of decent people, the most disturbing part of the article to me are these statements by the former Comrade Squealer:

"We don't know if it's true but nobody — but nobody — can say it was wrong," White House press secretary Ari Fleischer said. "That is not known."
. . .

The White House also drew a distinction between the way Bush handled intelligence claims about Iraq in a speech he gave in Cincinnati last October compared with his State of the Union address in January.
. . .

Fleischer said it was an apples-and-oranges difference because the Cincinnati speech mentioned Niger while the State of the Union speech talked about all of Africa, and that there was different reporting from the CIA. "So it's an apple in Cincinnati and an orange in the State of the Union," he said. "The two do not compare that directly."

These statements are disturbing because I fear too many average people may believe them.

[Wapsie B]

32. Hey Delay!!

Blow me you piece of southern-fried horseshit!

:nuke: :nuke: :nuke: :nuke:

[Catherine Vincent]

33. You wouldn't think it's overblown if the situation was reversed!

...ASSHOLE!!!!!!!!!!

(that message was for Tom Delay)

[Norbert]

34. Tom must be snorting the malathion again

Things must be going badly for the idiot son when the ethical midget sticks up for him.

[gulliver]

35. Cheney to DeLay

Tom, W. is my dummy. You stick to defending Hastert!

[otohara]

36. Democrat Meanies...Finally

after stolen election, record deficits, an illegal war and occupation, and lies upon lies told on a daily basis will finally get noticed by our democrats in congress - Thank God -

[aquart]

37. Is there full employment in Sugarland?

Just wondering why Delay feels so secure.

[goforit]

38. He's crying and whining.....quick take a picture!!......LOL!!!

Tisk -tisk!!!!

[Democat]

39. At least he's talking about Bush's lying

So what if he says Bush wasn't lying very much, at least the media has to report on DeLay talking about Bush lying.

It's nice to see the Republicans on the defensive for once.

[leesa]

40. Oh well, this Prince of Darkness' word is worth a lot

DeLay commenting on honesty...funny!

[are_we_united_yet]

41. How about...

Delay:Credibility Overblown!

[Rooktoven]

43. What do you expect from a greater evil than Karl Rove?

Possibly the most dangerous man in America, a Stalin as opposed to a Lenin like President Rove.

[Richardo]

44. You and I are on the same page, Rooktoven...

Possibly the most dangerous man in America...

I've been preaching that one for about 6-7 years now.

:thumbsup: and :toast: welcome to DU!
