In Show of Support, Bush to Give DeLay AF1 Flight

Mon Apr 25, 4:44 PM ET Politics - Reuters


WASHINGTON (Reuters) - In a show of support, President Bush will give embattled House of Representatives Republican leader Tom DeLay an Air Force One ride to Washington from Texas on Tuesday, a White House spokesman said.



DeLay is under fire over allegations that he violated ethics rules by allowing lobbyists to pay for some of his overseas travel, including a May 2000 trip to Britain that included golf at the St. Andrews golf course in Scotland.

The Texas Republican has accused Democrats and the media of conducting a witch hunt, and the White House has called him a friend of Bush and said Bush appreciates the work he is doing as the No. 2 Republican in the House.

DeLay is to attend with Bush an event in Galveston, Texas, on Tuesday about the president's proposals to overhaul Social Security and then will ride back to Washington with him aboard Air Force One, the spokesman said on Monday.

2. Well, ain't he just special....

We're not fooled, this plane ride is for them to discuss how they're gonna TRY to gloss over this investigation, that's all.

But it ain't gonna work, shrub! DeLay's been had, he's toast!

[Cha]

3. bush thinks he's untouchable...

so he thumbs his nose at America and gives the Sleazeball delay a ride in his jet..no surprise there. The big surprise would be if the monkey and his handlers took a stance on unethical behavior.

4. bush* probably wants to charge the gas...

to Delay's special credit card!

or maybe bush* is going to ask Delay to step outside for a little chat.
(bush* coulda picked that up from his new buddie "death squad" Negroponte.

5. Can't wait to see the press conference afterwards..

Bush: "Well, we were flying along real nice, Tom was standing there right next to the airplane door thingie. Then there was this bump, and I guess he must have accidently pulled the handle, cause next thing we knew....."

Well, it could happen!!!!

7. Excellent. Pictures of Bush holding hands with the Saudi Prince and DeLay

After all...a picture says a thousand words.

8. DeLay to Bush: "If I go down, I'm taking you down with me."

Bush to DeLey: "Come ride on my plane so I can throw you
out of it."

Lol.
