There is also mention in the article of the President saying he considers DeLay a friend, although more in a working relationship way rather than social friends.

I see a Trent Lott coming. Apologizing for something that needs no apology. Next the grovelling. When are the Republicans going to grow some nads and use the power that we gave them?

"I believe in an independent judiciary. I repeat, of course I believe in an independent judiciary," DeLay said.

Did you notice that DeLay apologized for saying things the way he said them? He didn't say that he was sorry for the content.
This kind of reminds me of when Bush apologized for the fact that people heard him call Clymer an a-hole. Bush did NOT apologize for the sentiment, only for being overheard.

House Majority Leader Tom DeLay apologized Wednesday for using overheated rhetoric on the day Terri Schiavo died, but refused to say whether he supports impeachment of the judges who ruled in her case. If you ask me there's nothing to apologize for, as far as I'm concerned Delay and the House should have been tougher. The activist judges who would yank the plug and starve us to death deserve no support whatsoever.

I'm not liking this "independent judiciary" idea at all. I thought they were dependent on the Constitution for their authority. But I guess I was wrong.

When are the Republicans going to grow some nads and use the power that we gave them? Odd, isn't it!
The GOP controls the Presidency, the House, and Senate, and it's still almost as if the libs are still in charge. Makes me wonder why we always get so excited when we finally start ousting libs.
It's springtime. Maybe this'll be the season!

I'm not liking this "independent judiciary" idea at all. I thought they were dependent on the Constitution for their authority. But I guess I was wrong. It is a reference to the three branches of government: Legislative, Executive and Judicial and the idea that they are independent branches while all should serve the Constitution.
To: cyncooper
Delay: "We set up the courts. We can unset the courts. We have the power of the purse."
A Constitutional power Congress does not exercise.
To: cyncooper
The truth is that none of the branches of government should be independent. Each gains its legitimate powers only from the Constitution.

As if the democrats don't engage in "
"overheated rhetoric".
Why apologize? I guess I was pretty hot too! My whole family was and some of my friends were too.
Who wouldn't be if you are pro-life, and celebrate life and see a horrific heinous court ordered, state sanctioned death by starvation and dehydration of a healthy disabled defenseless innocent woman?
We all were told that it is the rule of law and to stand aside and let them starve her.
And, now they are telling us we shouldn't have said a word, any word? Our elected representatives of the people who vote to fill the rows of Congress with people that represent the citizens, the voters, and their representatives can't say anything?
What ever happened to our great First Amendment Right?
And, Tom Delay, man, don't let them make you apologize for saying it like it is. We have a voice too and depend on your voice to say it.

Bush and DeLay have had a prickly relationship going back to Bush's assertion in 1999 that House Republicans were trying to balance the budget on the backs of the poor.
Does anybody need more evidence that Bush is a RINO?

Wow, overblown rhetoric from the Terri crowd? I'm shocked!
Delay is a huge anchor on a dinghy.

Do you fancy that you sound measured and reasonable?
President Bush has reached out to DeLay in part and the reporter seeks to undermine it. Don't be so eager to take the bait.
Just a bit of friendly advice.
To: cyncooper
I "fancy" Bush as a liberal.
And I don't know what bait you're talking about.

You said it all. DeLay just gave the dying socialist mainstream newsroons a power boost. Now they'll be all over him like Oprah on a ham. And he'll deserve it. How disappointing....
To: cyncooper
DeLay apologizing is a major-league smack down!!!
