Not done puking yet?

The Soviet Republic of Texas
'It's abhorrent on two counts. Texas Republicans, egged on by U.S. House Majority Leader Tom DeLay, violated a longstanding tradition by redrawing the map in the middle of a census cycle. Their new rule seems to be, why wait 10 years if you can cram something down your opponents' throats today? And their plan is designed to wipe out moderate and white Democrats from the Texas congressional delegation. We don't know whether the plan violates the Voting Rights Act or will survive legal challenge. What is clear, however, is that it will aggravate the triumph of extremes in Washington while further sovietizing America's already-fixed electoral game.'

Texas governor and Tom 'Bugsy' DeLay bitch Rick Perry on Monday signed into law a congressional redistricting map designed to boost Republican power in Washington. Although the new districts take effect in 90 days, Democrats have vowed to take their battle against redistricting into the courts.

Meanwhile, Perry's political sphincter, Texans for Rick Perry, distributed an "Urgent Request for Action," urging citizens to send Perry and other Republican lawmakers thank-you letters for their redistricting effort. The e-mail includes a
fill-in-the-blank form letter
saying that the state of Texas owes a "debt of gratitude" to the neo-Nazi punks republicans.

I'm so effing disgusted today.
