Cannibalism and Drunkeness

Tom DeLay is being slaughtered by his own party. He's become poison, and they are taking him down in terrifically bloody fashion.

First came the polls:

A new Houston Chronicle poll shows support for House Majority Leader Tom DeLay has slipped drastically in his district, and a majority of his constituents disapprove of how he handled the Terri Schiavo case.

Then came the news of dirty money:

A 3rd DeLay Trip Under Scrutiny

A six-day trip to Moscow in 1997 by then-House Majority Whip Tom DeLay (R-Tex.) was underwritten by business interests lobbying in support of the Russian government, according to four people with firsthand knowledge of the trip arrangements.

DeLay reported that the trip was sponsored by a Washington-based nonprofit organization. But interviews with those involved in planning DeLay's trip say the expenses were covered by a mysterious company registered in the Bahamas that also paid for an intensive $440,000 lobbying campaign.

Political Groups Paid Two Relatives of House Leader

The wife and daughter of Tom DeLay, the House majority leader, have been paid more than $500,000 since 2001 by Mr. DeLay's political action and campaign committees, according to a detailed review of disclosure statements filed with the Federal Election Commission and separate fund-raising records in Mr. DeLay's home state, Texas.

Then was the news that Freepers are FREAKING OUT about Dr. "Diagnosis By Video" Frist's backpedaling. Ooopsie!

The GOP has been excessively drunk on power long enough. Now it's vomiting out the worst before it just passes out into unconsciousness.

UPDATE: Jersey represent! Frank Lautenberg delivered a speech to the Senate none to friendly to DeLay and Cornyn. Woot.
