God, Guns & Rock ‘N’ Roll Update

U.S. Senator Kay Bailey Hutchison and House Majority Leader Tom DeLay spoke to the NRA convention in Houston yesterday. Kay Bailey had the quote of the day.

“The French government has raised its terror alert from ‘run’ to ‘hide,’” she joked, bringing a round of laughter. “The only higher levels in France are ‘surrender’ and ‘collaborate.’”

I normally vote Republican, but I am beginning to think that Tom DeLay is a gooberhead. He sticks his foot in his mouth every time he opens it. He is becoming kind of an embarrassment.

Kay Bailey is as sharp as a tack however. I expect her to run for Governor of Texas and unseat that 100% certified Texas Aggie gooberhead, Rick Perry. She could be the first woman President of the United States. Did you know that she was once a University of Texas cheerleader? What a babe!

A lot of DeLay’s problems are due to Travis County District Attorney (Democrat and gooberhead emeritus) Ronnie Earle. He has a long history of foaming at the mouth and yapping at the heels of Republicans. Here is what Kay Bailey has to say about him.

Ms. Hutchison, once a University of Texas cheerleader, hasn’t campaigned for Mr. Phelps. But she says Austin voters should elect someone with the “highest integrity” because the county district attorney has jurisdiction over elected state officials.

“Ronnie Earle’s record is spotted with controversy, allegations of misuse of power and corruption,” she charged. “This should not be tolerated in a prosecutor with such awesome responsibility.”

I think that most of DeLay’s problems, are his own damned fault. He seems to going out of his way to shoot himself in the foot. I hope that flintlock they gave him at the NRA convention wasn’t loaded.

Weigh in on this subject readers… DeLay, gooberhead or not?

This UT cheerleader is not Kay Bailey. She is a babe however.

Update: Newt Gingrich seems to leaning toward the “Yes, he is a gooberhead” point of view. Blood is in the water and the sharks are circling. Barb, what kind of sharks are those?

There was fresh criticism Tuesday of embattled House Majority Leader Tom DeLay from a prominent member of his own party. In an exclusive interview with CBS News Correspondent Gloria Borger, former House Speaker Newt Gingrich said it’s time for DeLay to stop blaming a left-wing conspiracy for his ethics controversy and to lay out his case for the American people to judge. “I don’t want to prejudge him and my hope is that Tom will be able to prove his case,” said Gingrich, who engineered the Republican takeover of the House in 1994. “But I think the burden is on him to prove it at this point.” Is he doing that? “I don’t know yet. I think the jury’s out,” said Gingrich.

“DeLay’s problem isn’t with the Democrats; DeLay’s problem is with the country,” Gingrich continued. “And so DeLay has a challenge: to lay out a case that the country comes to believe, that the country decides is legitimate. If he does that he’s fine.”

Update: I went looking for a picture of a Longhorn cheerleder. I couldn’t find one that is as much of a babe as the Tennessee Volunteer that is posted above, so I’ll just leave her there. I did find a picture of another one of my favorite Republican cheerleaders. I am seeing a pattern here. Cheerleader, Governor of Texas and then President of the United States…

You heard it here first.

Kay Bailey Hutchison is still kind of a babe for a woman her age, I think.

Not that very many people ever read this far down, but this blog was the creation of Allan Kelly and his friend Vilmar. Vilmar moved on to his own blog some time ago, and Allan ran this place alone until his sudden and unexpected death partway through 2006. We all miss him. A lot. Even though he is gone this site will always still be more than a little bit his. We who are left to carry on the BMEWS tradition owe him a great debt of gratitude, and we hope to be able to pay that back by following his last advice to us all:

1. Keep a firm grasp of Right and Wrong
2. Stay involved with government on every level and don't let those bastards get away with a thing
3. Use every legal means to defend yourself in the event of real internal trouble, and, most importantly:
4. Keep talking to each other, whether here or elsewhere

It's been a long strange trip without you Skipper, but thanks for pointing us in the right direction and giving us a swift kick in the behind to get us going. Keep lookin' down on us, will ya? Thanks.
