The D.A. and Tom DeLay - CBS Sunday 3/6 6:00 p.m.

Prosecutor Balks When Asked If DeLay Is Target of Tex. Probe

(snip)
CBS's 12-minute segment, called "The D.A. and Tom DeLay," has been anxiously awaited by Republicans since correspondent Lesley Stahl asked DeLay questions about the investigation during a Capitol Hill news conference in January on tsunami relief.

DeLay and his GOP colleagues are trying to keep the focus on Social Security and the rest of President Bush's agenda for a second term. But DeLay has been unable to escape relentless media attention to his ethics problems and the Texas criminal and civil cases alleging wrongdoing by a political action committee he helped to create.

And Don't forget your fax to Craddick's office -

Dear Clean Up Texas Politics Supporter
But serious reformers have been hard at work discussing and drafting changes to Texas' laws since early last summer. How many more lawsuits and criminal investigations will we have to endure before our state leadership endorses real bi-partisan reform? If you haven't already, please fax Speaker Craddick and ask him to say the magic words, "I support HB1348":

1. My favorite part
Was that sleezy repuke congresscritter from Round Rock John Carter telling lies even he obviously had a hard time swallowing about what "administrative expenses" are. Candidate recruitment and opposition research? That scumbucket should have stayed on Mars.

2. What is it with Tom DeLay?!
Indeed,

That slimeball couldn't even answer the questions.

What *is* it with Tom DeLay and how people can still vote him into office. He's a freakin' evil weasel hypocrite.

Oh, BTW, Hi...first post. :)

5. Welcome to DU avitali!
The problem with Tom DeLay is of course Tom DeLay, the exterminator is just too full of himself and it will be his downfall.

Morrison made a very valiant effort in challenging him this last election, and he will do much better next time. That's assuming we don't get to see DeLay do the perp walk before then.
:evilgrin:
