Fish rot from the head down

'If this be treason' has collected some of the all-time best quotes of Republican House Leader Tom Delay.

I should add that with Mr. Delay facing indictments from the House Ethics committee and now a potential criminal conspiracy charge, he is but one of the prominent GOP leaders to finally face the music (I hope) for his profound corruption.

The following is my favourite, but the entire list should be checked out.

“Guns have little or nothing to do with juvenile violence. The causes of youth violence are working parents who put their kids into daycare, the teaching of evolution in the schools, and working mothers who take birth control pills.”

–Tom DeLay, on causes of the Columbine High School massacre, 1999
