Former House Majority Leader Tom DeLay may not be in a leadership position on Capitol Hill anymore, but that doesn’t mean he can’t weigh in on the current GOP leadership.
DeLay told Yeas & Nays that Republicans in Congress are “looking for something to believe in” and “they’re not getting it out of this Republican leadership. … The leadership just isn’t getting it.”
“They’re looking for some backbone,” said DeLay, who also chimed in on the 2008 election. He said the Republican party is “going to get our clocks cleaned in 2008″ and unequivocally said that “Hillary [Clinton] will be the next president.” Which ought to give DeLay’s newest projects, the Coalition for a Conservative Majority and a consulting firm called First Principles, LLC, plenty to do.
DeLay gave us is his dour assessment at a book party for former U.N. Ambassador John Bolton, which was held at the Georgetown home of former Republican National Committee Chairman Ken Mehlman. The party was a virtual “who’s who” of the conservative movement: Lynne Cheney, Liz Cheney Perry, Scooter Libby, David Keene, Vin Weber, Grover Norquist, Barbara Comstock, Armstrong Williams, Mary Matalin, Ramesh Ponnuru, John Fund, Byron York and Kate O’Beirne.
Always remember that when speaking of ‘bitch-slapping,’ the slapper is the bitch.

What Tom Delay is still given any credibility?
If Delay wants to bitch slap anybody it should be the Sheisterkopfens that deluded him into
committing crimes against the people of america
and locally the people of sugarland texas and for your participation in the 2000 elections in Florida
and for further tilting the tables against the
poor in this country in favor of rewarding his new found cronies;the Texas White Trash Oil Millionaires,Financiers,Arms Dealers and of course the Megalavangelists.
So on behalf of the good people struggling daily to rise out of the poverty bracket and everyone else You’ve shat on on your way up;
Enjoy the prison food, I understand it’s best licked off the floor while under the boots of an Aryan Brother,you know, Your kind of folks.
