So, what happened? What was delay's reaction?
It was about 1 week after DeLay had publically resigned and the first time I had met him. His wife and my sister are friends.
I took a folder of the translated documents and didn't present them until about 3/4 of the way through dinner. My sister and his wife like to "yack" a bit and most of the conversation was about politics, liberals, and his recent stepping down from office. It was very interesting hearing it all from people who have been on Capitol Hill for 20 some years.
Eventually I warmed up and got the conversation to the documents. We discussed them a bit and I told him about 'jveritas' and that these guys are translating 24/7 night and day and DeLay said, "God Bless him." He took the docs and I asked if he could get them into the hands of anyone who could further get them into the public arena. He said he'd do what he could. I haven't heard anything but wasn't expecting him to call me about it either.
We also discussed the biased media and the indictments in Texas. It was very interesting to hear it straight from DeLay himself and his wife Christine. His wife Christine is very out going and very protective of her husband -- 20 years of politics you have to be.
I asked him why they (Republicans) allow the Democrats to spit out rope-a-dope lies such as "only the rich get tax cuts" and Christine jumped in and agreed that it made her mad that the Republicans don't fight back in that way. DeLay said that they do, but the media controls what gets out to the public and there is only so much you can do to counter them. He said there is a job to do beyond just fighting the media and they try and stay focused on that.
Anyway, not sure what his impression of the documents are at this time. It's a tough battle getting them out there no matter who you are. The media is right there to tear anything apart with their lies.
