Protesters greet Cheney at DeLay fundraiser
Hi, asshole!
Bearing signs that read "The GOP is in an ethics free-fall," "Go #uck yourself!" and chants of "Hey, Hey, Ho, Ho, Dick Cheney Has To Go," hundreds of protesters lined the street, criticizing Cheney and Bush for their handling of the war in Iraq, and Tom DeLay for being an unethical, slimy piece of sh!t:
DeLay and two Republican fundraisers are accused of illegally funneling $190,000 in corporate donations to GOP candidates for the Texas Legislature.
Earlier on Monday, a judge dismissed a conspiracy charge against DeLay but refused to throw out the far more serious allegations of money laundering.
Mike Malaise, campaign manager for DeLay's likely Democratic opponent next year, former Rep. Nick Lampson, said Cheney's visit Monday was a sign that GOP leaders are worried about the congressman's chances for re-election.
"I think Tom DeLay has a lot of concerns about this race," he said. "It is very telling he is having to call in the administration to bail him out."
