Love DeLay's response. Boy he is an embattled man right now, and he is a fighter. There is such VITRIOL against him, unreal.

Sad isn't it??? This rumormongering, I swear you'd think these mysterious aides were DU'ers.

I mean, this shouldn't have been printed, come on. They'll do anything to defame DeLay, it seems.

Guess they hate him as much we hated Daschle.

[Paleo Conservative]

There should be a bull market for photoshop jockeys who can prey on the DemocRATS circumstances.

[MEG33]

As unfair as this is I rather enjoy the mythical power ascribed to Delay..

[Mike1973]

None of this compares to the Clintons getting the IRS to investigate numerous Republican donors. Or even Hillary getting the Private detective (Pellicano) to investigate some of the women accusing Bill of harassment. Pellicano was also hired by Michael Jackson to pay off the original accusers of child molesting about 10 years ago.

The story — if I followed it correctly — “reports” on the “fear” of “certain Democrats” of a “conspiracy” that I “might be behind” to “blacklist”

The proverbial smorgasbord of unnamed sources!!

[SoDak]

Well, if it's Hildebrand or Pfieffer, I wouldn't want either one of them in MY office. Yeesh.

[wildbill]

i suppose it is a sign of the vitriolic time in our history, but my first thought on looking at the article was that the reporter (Earle)has the same last name as the Dem district attorney in Texas who is always after Republicans and is behind this latest fracas with Delay.

[Cobra64]

Soooo, one way or the other. What's the big flippin' deal? Some folks are laid off, and others are hired. If y'er ridin' the wrong horse; then you face, and absorb, the consequences of your decisions and responsibilities..

[Do not dub me shapka broham]

Even more so.

They despise him because he's effective at his job, which is an unforgivable sin in the eyes of a Democrat working on the Hill.

He's not some wimpy, accomodationist drip like Christopher Shays. He's tenacious and unbreakable.

He's Texas.

He's Dyker.

He's a Roman legionnaire

And he's not going to play by their rules.

That's why the Democratic Party loathes him to the very essence of its shallow core.

[Texas Eagle]

Love DeLay's response. Boy he is an embattled man right now, and he is a fighter.

DeLay knows how to deal with vermin and other pests. He owned a pesticide company before he became a Congressman.

[spinestein]

"Several Democratic aides said that a midsize Washington lobbying firm, the Alpine Group, declined last week to hire a Daschle staffer with whom the group had been in long-standing discussions about a possible job."


I can think of a good reason why a lobbying firm would decline to hire people who just lost their access to the government.

[randog]

Looks like the dems are just plain scared of their own shadows these days. Talk of sucession, daily visits to the shrink, moving out of the country before they get sent to the concentration camps--it's mass hysteria for a group of people on the edge of sanity in the first place. I like it....;^)

[Slyfox]

Gee, a connection to Daschole is a liability? Maybe those staffers ought to see Jerrold Nadler. He's been looking for support staff for at least three months.

[The Spirit Of Allegiance]

You can almost hear the whining for "affirmative action" from these Dems. Put a cork in it and go learn a trade. You're finished in paid D.C. politics for a while, unless Soros is hiring! You can always Act Up like a hysterical heterophobe or something, on your own nickel of course....

[dk/coro]

I suspect that there is an element of truth to this gambit.

Having spent some time in that spiteful environment, the one thing that I can state as an absolute truth is that score-keeping is essential to survival.

Favors are never done without the expectation of payback; nor can one overstep invisible bounds of long-established decorum without consequences.

Of course there will be consequences to those associated with Daschle's longstanding obstructionism. My goodness, that is the way Washington works. The only surprise is that those caught in the lockout would imagine that it "couldn't happen to me" syndrome.

What will really be interesting to watch is the effect of her husband's embarrassing defeat on the lobbying career of Mrs. Daschle -- who had been flying pretty high these many years.

Scumbags all.

[Southack]

"One of the few people hiring Democrats in town is incoming Minority Leader Sen. Harry Reid (D-Nev.). But Reid plans to bring in his own people, according to aides."

You see, that's just a downer. Here we are winning fight after fight, and along comes a Democrat clever enough to not hire from their entrenched pool of proven losers. Now we've got to take Senator Reid seriously.

[kittymyrib]

May I ask why these Dem losers think they are entitled to a cushy job when people all over the country are trying to find work to feed their families? By the way, discrimination on the basis of politics is not against the law because there are no laws covering this area. They need to be treated just like any other fired employee looking for a job.

[Tacis]

Golly gee, I do hope the the negative, obstructionist, crapweasel, ultra-left wing dem scumbags are able to find the kind of employment they deserve! Tommie the Commie did, of course, refuse to be honest with America and make public his and the bag lady's tax returns. Thus, any potential employer would have to be willing to accept employees who thought that censorship, dishonesty, conspiracy and negative obstructionism were desireable attributes. This would be a tough sell for any honest employer, democrat or republican.

So, these neocommunist, anti-Americans have been working to destroy America and our way of life and now we are supposed to consider them to be competitive employees? The crapweasel dems are still delusional!!!

I guess they haven't heard that it is Kerry, not Bush, who will be inaugurated on January 20'th.

[tbeatty]

Daschle losing is why his staff isn't being hired.

The number one qualification of a Daschle staffer is that he knows Daschle.

Today, knowing Daschle and a quarter will buy you a phone call. If Daschle were still minority leader, it's a difference story. But he's not. buh bye.
