Here we go again...
House Majority Leader Tom DeLay is about to get the full 60 MINUTES treatment.
CBSNEWS Lesley Stahl and her crew crashed a tsunami-relief photo op that Republican DeLay held last week.
Stahl hit DeLay with questions about Ronnie Earle, the Democratic Travis County district attorney who is investigating a Texas political action committee founded by DeLay.
This is about children, DeLay told Stahl, trying as hard as he could to put a plug in her relentless line of questioning.
Stahl hammered away.
After about the third question, DeLay ended the press conference.
DeLay spokesman Jonathan Grella said of the 60 MINUTES crew: They couldnt have picked a more inappropriate time to ask petty partisan questions when were working on protecting the lives of orphaned children affected by the tsunami.
60 MINUTES spokesman Kevin Tedesco explained, Lesley Stahl has every right to ask questions at a news conference.
ROLL CALL reports how Stahl made a point of clarifying to the gathered congressmen that she works for the Sunday 60 MINUTES - not the shamed Wednesday night 60 MINUTES II that aired Dan Rather's now-infamous Bush report.
Developing...
Oh, well, that's different. Yeah, right.
She's such a hippie. And I mean that in the bad sense of the word.
What a scum bag, and a bunch of scum they are.
60 Minutes doesn't come in on my Dish.
This is about children
Omigod, we've got to come up with a better line than something from a Dim re-election campaign. It's like holding a cross in front of a vampire I guess.
Note to CBS affiliates: Incoming!!
"It's for the children" should be the only answer she needs!
DNC MOUTHPIECE
I can hardly wait--
Which delay are they investigating?
The DELAY in voting in the full Senate for Rice and Gonzales?
The DELAY in OIL-FOR-FOOD heads rolling?
The DELAY in Kerry releasing Military Records?
The DELAY in prosecution of Bill Clinton?
Stop the DELAYS... /sarcasm
TeeHeeHee, 60 Minutes gets the BMMM,BMMM,BMMM three thumbs down on my TIVO.
How long has Mapes been working on this story?
It was 5 years on the pathetic Bush N.G. story.
I wonder if they will do a deep investigation on the history of Ronnie Earle, infamous DA who tried to nail Kaye Bailey Hutchison and has turned his talents (?) to Delay.
I have 5 bucks that says Earle will not be mentioned.
.... okay, I don't actually have 5 bucks, but I can get it.
I Vote we ALL should rename "60 Minutes" to the "Sado/Masochism Hour"!!!!:-(
Just answer the questions. The fact that they never question Democrats with such vigor is undoubtedly true, but not really relevant.
SSDD at CBS. CBS's affiliates need their heads examined.
LOL!
Is anybody on FR actually going to watch this??
I never watch 60 minutes. As a matter of fact I don't watch CBS, ABC or NBC!
Well, silly me. I see the title and think "Goodness, I can't believe they're actually doing a story on the delay in Dr. Rice's nomination."
That'll learn me.
