Cafferty:



Wolf all the tough talk was reduced to, "I quit!" To borrow a phrase from Roberto Duran, "No Mas." Mr. Delay suddenly became another disgraced public servant who couldn't take the heat." He would strut around on capitol hill like a cocky little, bandy rooster, but today he slithered away from Congress...

TX-22: The Tragedy of Tom DeLay

The tragedy of Tom DeLay is not then his political demise, but the demise of the American system of governance. For with or without Tom DeLay, that GOP theory that everything must be sacrificed in the quest for power lives on. Party over principle. It is the legacy of Tom DeLay, the legacy of this Republican Congress. It is a hideous stain upon our democracy that cannot be rubbed out, not with the resignation of one man, not with superficial ethics "reform". Only a Democratic majority in November can provide the catharsis necessary to cleanse Capitol Hill of its culture of corruption.

1. I've always thought Cafferty would make a great cartoon character.

2. LOL - that poster must be a city boy

it's banty rooster ( short for bantam, meaning smaller than a regular chicken)

4. Bantam

3. I agree with the sentiment

but it's 'banty rooster', not 'bandy'.

Either way, it's an apt description.

5. I missed it!

I would have loved to see Wolfie's reaction to that smack-down. I'm sure he was defending DeLay all day long.
