Politically Correct?

A bit behind the times, but this was too good to pass up. House Majority Leader Tom DeLay (R-Texas) in a speech to College Republicans in Washington, DC last week:

Good afternoon, or, as John Kerry might say: “Bonjour!”

I'm sure you've already heard a good many speakers today and will hear a bunch more after I'm done.

So you'll probably judge my speech more on its brevity than its persuasiveness.

But that's okay, because as you may have heard, we Republicans from Texas aren't known for our el-o-qua-city.

But we are known for being clear.

So in the interests of clarity, I have a simple message to pass along: the national Democrat party seems to have lost its marbles.

Though they remain a potent electoral machine, armed with battalions of trial lawyers and entertainers, and their Grand Coalition of the Perpetually Partisan, they are no longer a serious force in the national debate.

Their single organizing philosophy is an irrational, all-encompassing, broiling hatred of George W. Bush.

They hate him for a million reasons.

But most of all, Democrats hate the president because on every political issue of significance since he came into office, he has beaten them like rented mules.

Gosh, Tom, what are you really trying to say? Read the rest on his homepage. It just keeps getting better.
