DeLay flipping and a flopping.

DAILY GRILL

"House Majority Leader Tom DeLay said yesterday that Republicans have done so well in cutting spending that he declared an 'ongoing victory,' and said there is simply no fat left to cut in the federal budget."
-- Washington Times, 9/14/05

VERSUS

"House Majority Leader Tom DeLay says the government could slash billions of dollars in 'wasteful spending' to help pay for hurricane recovery."
-- Houston Chronicle, 9/26/05

2. Goodness.
I even hate those words when applied to DeLay.

Sorry, the f-f word sends me into campaign flashbacks. Is it just me?

5. Yeah, what will we call it when they flip and flop at precisely the same
moment?

Will that be like a flipop or a fliop or what? :evilgrin:

6. It's good to see that Delay is smart enough to revisit the issue
Edited on Tue Sep-27-05 04:21 PM by hughee99
and make an intelligent decision based on the most up to date information rather than ignoring the facts and stubbornly sticking to his previous position... just kidding, Delay is still a DUMBASS! I believe that was our spin "flip-flopping" (the term still makes me cringe) a few months ago, though. I'm not sure if I want the likes of Delay going back to slash what he considers "wasteful spending" though I have to think the bridge to nowhere will be one of the projects.
