In reply to the discussion: House Republicans to try to impeach U.S. Attorney General Holder [View all]Gothmog
(180,054 posts)48. Tom DeLay may be the cause of this effort
It seems that Pete has been hearing the same rumors that Juanita Jean has been hearing about Tom DeLay (the former holder of this seat) wanting to return to congress. http://www.juanitajean.com/2013/11/15/some-rumors/
No, seriously, my phone has been ringing like a bad handbell choir with people anxious to tell me that Tom is doing a Reunion Tour. He wants to go back to Congress. I saw him get handcuffed and hauled off myownself. I was there having a party the night before and the day after. I never wanted to see him again.
Okay, so Pete didnt know he was a place holder and got to liking all the attention he gets as a congressman. If Im hearing about Toms plans, you know that Pete is, too. So .
Pete had decided to lead a movement to impeach Eric Holder. He got 20 other Republicans to sign on with him, 8 from Texas. Yeah, his desk would have gotten at least 26. Furniture. Bless his heart.
Now we have 99 problems in my congressional district, and maybe Eric Holder is one of them, I dunno, but even if he is, hes gotta be like 96 or 97 on the list.
Pete Olson needs headlines to beat Tom DeLay. So, Holy Crap!, watch Mr. Placeholder become Louie Gohmert, Jr.
I swear that my congressional district is snakebit. Somebody throw some chlorine in the hot tub Tom is back.
Every business venture pursued by DeLay since he left or was forced out of congress has been a flop. DeLay was horrible on the dancing program. Getting back to congress is the only way that DeLay can get attention and evidently the local GOP types like DeLay.

Hey...does it matter what he's impeached for just as long as he's impeached?

this is just another reason why Republicans should be in the nut house, not Congress
