Podhoretz's Dander is up...and, of course you know, I mean that literally

Hot Tub Tom has stepped out of his leadership position on the first step to political oblivion. But that won't stop John Podhoretz from displaying his awesome lack of acumen - the man who has proclaimed each and every scandal coming out of BushCo a nothing burger, won't let self-evident facts get in the way or his irreality:

THE DELAY STATEMENT [John Podhoretz]
Very elegantly done. And if anybody thinks the statement means DeLay is through permanently, that person doesn't understand politics. If DeLay comes through the lousy Ronnie Earle business in Texas clean, which he probably will, and if he isn't excessively bloodied by the Abramoff scandal, which we can't know yet, he will be in a position in a few years to replace Hastert as Speaker of the House (should Republicans remain in charge). We've just spent the past several days reflecting on the political career of Ariel Sharon. Sharon staged a comeback from the total disgrace in which he fell in the mid-1980s. DeLay has wisely decided to retreat for now to fight again another day. (Unless, of course, he knows there's a big shoe to drop against him and he's just trying to clear the decks.)

Nice try at ass covering with that last sentence.

DeLay is DONE, finished.

One way or another he's toast, if he's not in prison by November, he'll be voted out.

Bye asshole.
