"DeLay Upset Over 'Law & Order' Line"

[GreenPartyVoter]

WASHINGTON (AP) - House Majority Leader Tom DeLay is upset that a popular NBC crime drama used his name as part of its show.

DeLay wrote NBC to complain that one of the characters on "Law & Order: Criminal Intent" invoked his name in a story line about the shooting death of a federal judge. "Maybe we should put out an APB for somebody in a Tom DeLay T-shirt," the fictional police officer said.

DeLay, in a letter to NBC Universal Television chief Jeff Zucker, called that reference a "slur."

"This manipulation of my name and trivialization of the sensitive issue of judicial security represents a reckless disregard for the suffering initiated by recent tragedies and a great disservice to public discourse," he said.

1. Schadenfreude..or to be blunt...

Tough shit. He can hand out all kinds of crap, but he can't take any. Too bad. What a whiney little crybaby. I hope he gets laughed right out of town.

3. Guns and Judges

I saw the show and I thought the Delay quip was directed more at the guns issue more than the judges. Delay's NRA comments make them warranted.

4. He is the one who showed a reckless disregard for judges

and his projection attempts are cute but not effective.

8. I didn't see the show, but the line sounds like a reference

to the Schiavo case....wasn't he the one that said "judges will pay for this mistake". Or was that Frist?
