DeLay: No fat in federal budget

As if you needed more reasons not to take Tom DeLay seriously, the House Majority Leader is now claiming that all the fat has been cut out of the federal budget.

Not only is this laughable, but it's plain as day that this is just not true. Case in point, the recently enacted highway bill. If $230 million highways to nowhere don't qualify as "fat," then it's obvious that the Republican leadership in the House can't be trusted to spend our tax dollars wisely.
