Ouch

You may have heard that former important person Tom DeLay has started a blog. You may have also heard that said blog allowed unmoderated comments -- briefly.

The comments were purged, of course. Folks like DeLay are not exactly down with the reality of democracy in such unadulterated form. But a savvy blogger managed to snag and copy the comments before they followed DeLay's career into the ozone.

The comments include massive amounts of juvenile obscenity, of course. But there were a few highlights:

I like to smother myself in tapioca pudding and play the bongos in front of the fireplace. Looking for S/W/M who shares same interests.

WoW! America's poster-child for white entitlement, greed, authoritarianism and the exploitation religion for corporate interests finally has a blog! The intertubz are finally complete... Go back to your hole Tom. Your "conservative revolution" is dead. No one cares what a ignorant exterminator has to say anymore, now that we are all pretty sure you're a criminal.

Though in all honesty, keep posting. This should be entertaining... in a "rubbernecking a car accident" sort of way.

But this one hurts:

Everyone already assumes bloggers are unemployed losers... thanks for reinforcing that stereotype...

All this AND lumped in with Tom DeLay. My heart swells with..... pride. Yeah, that's the ticket.

I'm just going to ask one question of the blog owner and commenter. Why do you think Mr. DeLay's former occupation is in the least bit relevant that you feel the need to mention it? The reference says a lot more about you than it does DeLay, and I can assure you that none of it is good.
