TOM DELAY HAS NERVE

Here's one of Tom Delay's complaints about what he calls the "Democrats' so-called economic proposal":

The Democrat proposal [b]usts a $30 billion hole in the budget.

I gather that Delay's complaint is that a $30 billion hole isn't big enough. Or he's just unbelievably slimy and is criticizing the Democrats for being budget busters while supporting the President, who is an even bigger budget buster (a fact both Bush and Delay like to omit in their descriptions of the President's plan).

I suppose both could be true. . .

MORE: Jim at OTB thinks I'm being naive, perhaps. Actually, I'm just in awe at Delay's amazing political abilities here, especially the ability to stifle anything resembling the normal human emotion of shame. I also want to highlight his good deeds as much as possible, since Tom Delay is one of the top ten reasons to vote Democrat in 2004, in my increasingly partisan opinion!
