Mission Accomplished!

"Why do we need to borrow billions for Katrina relief?" reporters ask Mr. Delay. Well, that's an easy one, he explains: It's because our government is so darned efficient. Via 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 guess these people can all go home now.
