Perhaps we can wash it down a bathtub now.

It’s been a day just chock full of The Onion-as-in-life, hasn’t it? From the Washington Times:

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.”

I sure do miss the real Republicans. I believe they’re now…whaddya call ’em?…Democrats. Yes, that’s it. Democrats.
