The Exterminator!

by Henry Farrell on October 20, 2005

“Matt Cheney”:http://mumpsimus.blogspot.com/2005/10/tom-delay-shape-shifter.html tells us that Tom DeLay has a hitherto unknown secret superpower. In addition to “interdimensional travel and death-grip gloves”:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Death-Stalker, he can transform himself into a large public building “in the blink of an eye”:http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2005/10/20/AR2005102000248.html. The Washington Post tells us that

bq. Former House Majority Leader Tom DeLay (R-Tex.) turned himself into the county sheriff’s office in Houston, and was then photographed, fingerprinted, and released

Update: the wording seems to have been changed while I was writing the post, but if you go to the Post’s “main page”:http://www.washingtonpost.com/ quickly, you can still see “Former House majority leader turns himself into sheriff’s office in carefully planned appearance.”

He will be turned into the county’s shared orifice if he is convicted.

Old Firesign Theater gag: “in about five seconds Nick Danger will walk into a great sandstone building (ouch!)” He was also Ruthless, if you want another point of comparison.

Screen shots are a beautiful thing, Henry. Meanwhile, I think DeLay has turned himself into a leak and infiltrated our hot water heater.
