CNN Hot Tub Tom -- Delay is now a born-againer.
CNN doing 'people in the news' segment on Tom DeLay. He was called hot tub tom cause he was a wild and crazy guy. Now he's a born again asshole.

5. No he's always been an asshole
He didn't need to be born again, unless he grew a second bigger one.
:evilgrin:

He's still the same piece of shit, he just gets to hide his "other side" better, since he's swimming in corporate payola. So now his hot tub parties are more private.

DeLay could soak in chlorine bleach for years and not come out clean. He's rotten to the core of his ugly corrupt soul.

9. I was only repeating what the program called him.
They reported that he became a born again Christian after his 'wild' days. If this man is a Christian, then I could beat Lance Armstrong in a bike race.

7. He already was born again, and if you fall from grace, you....
...can'r be born again for a third time! Sorry, it just doesn't work that way. You can only be forgive, but there is no guarantee for salvation after that first born again experience.

<snip>
Are you a Saved, Born-Again Christian?
(If your answer is "no" then consider yourself righteously rebuked. Now, leave this Godly website tout de suite.)

Before you pat yourself on the back, ask yourself: How many times have you been born-again?

Was the answer a paltry "once"? Some Fundamentalist Christians, far less devout than Mrs. Betty Bowers, have only been born-again once. While it is certainly admirable that these people, so otherwise halfhearted in their facsimile of faith, took the time out of their day to be born a second time, such a lackadaisical embrace of faith no longer qualifies one for entry by Heaven's burly doorman!

Tom Delay can only do penance from now on.

8. I saw this as well
He'd consume tweleve martinis while raising funds before he saw the light. He's the child of an alcoholic, and no longer speaks to his mother or siblings, but he's a big time family guy. Whatever. My supposed representative!

In Texas, it's no secret that he was quite the party guy...Hot Tub Tom has been well circulated here.

15. Yep
They mentioned that if anyone disagreed with him, within the party, he'd either threaten to cut the funding, find someone else to run against them, or dig up dirt.

10. AND he bakes cookies, plays with kids and dogs, and
is an enigma within a puzzle--or something like that. Candy Crowley was narrating, I believe. She earned her kneepads and should have had blister too.

17. This guy is so full of shit...read this piece
http://www.cnn.com/2005/POLITICS/05/05/delay.ethics/index.html

~snip~ "Just think of what we could accomplish if we checked our pride at the door," he said. "If we spent less time ducking responsibility and more time welcoming it. If we spent less time on our soapboxes and more time on our knees.

"For in God, all things are possible, ladies and gentlemen. And even greatness from lowly sinners like you and me -- especially me." ~snip~

Yea, Tom that's why they changed the fucking ethics rules in the Senate, just so you could DUCK responsibility you arrogant prick.

20. Yeah....very true!
The only reason I caught this was I watched Wolf Blitzer, and saw that they were going to talk about Hot Tub Tom. I like to scream at my TV, so I watch all the Sunday talk shows, with the exception of anything on Faux News!

21. My avatar had something to say about this 100 years ago.
"Alas! those good old days are gone, when a murderer could wipe the
stain from his name and soothe his trouble to sleep simply by getting
out his blocks and mortar and building an addition to a church."

23. I thought he was born again before.
You know, when he was taking all those bribes, free vacations, etc. How many times can this asshole get born?
