From The Onion

Their political satire is as sharp as ever: "House Majority Leader Tom DeLay said yesterday that Republicans have done so well in cutting spending that he declared an "ongoing victory," and said there is simply no fat left to cut in the federal budget. Asked if that meant the government was running at peak efficiency, Mr. DeLay said, "Yes, after 11 years of Republican majority we've pared it down pretty good." http://www.washingtontimes.com/national/20050914-120153-3878r.htm Hold on......that was real? Judging by the Times' tone, I think they had a good laugh about this one as well.

Dear Lord! That's alternate reality type stuff. But what else to expect from the Moonie Times.

Hard to believe they even put this to press.

Delay's statement on the Fed Hwys bill says it all... "important infrastructure"... and eliminating them [pork-filled pet projects] would "undermine the economy"!?!
