Today's hit piece by the Houston ChronicleGOP leader's ties to lobbyist deepen his own controversy (a headline does not a scandal make)***.......Gary Ruskin, who heads the Congressional Accountability Project affiliated with Ralph Nader, said Abramoff stood out in a town filled with high-priced lobbyists.

"Jack Abramoff was a guy you could buy to make sure your policies happened," he said. "And his relationship to Tom DeLay was central to all of this." ***

Republicans better close ranks behind DeLay and defend him, because if he goes, they'll be next in the sights of the Democrats, until none of them are left.

More non-stories from the left-wing pondscum at the Chronicle. Won't they ever get bored manufacturing attacks on DeLay? nahhh.

I have listened to Chris Shays over the last 3 or 4 days talking about Delay and the ethics frenzy. In today's politically correct environment it isn't safe to describe the way Shays sounds. When you put Shays along side Delay, Shays comes away the semi-vir (half man).

Now as I listen to folks like Santorem, I start to wonder if there are any whole men left in the Republican caucus after Delay. Perhaps that is why the Democrats and the media MUST get Delay.

The House leader's harsh criticism of the federal judiciary "is very unhealthy" and "it's political rhetoric that needs to be stopped," added Graham.

He really said that?

"Sen. Lincoln Chafee, R-R.I., a moderate who has been targeted for defeat by Democrats next year..."

So. This is why Chafee will vote to confirm Bolton. I wondered about that.

Sen. Lincoln Chafee, R-R.I., a moderate who has been targeted for defeat by Democrats next year, said DeLay's troubles could play into charges that Republicans are abusing power.

"It tends to cast a shadow over the party. That's just the way it is," Chafee said.

The House leader's harsh criticism of the federal judiciary "is very unhealthy" and "it's political rhetoric that needs to be stopped," added Graham.

Not an ounce of testicular fortitude amongst any of them.

IMHO this in the end is more than about DeLay...the MSM is desperately trying to see if they still have "it" ...the ability to shout a politician out of office....."they" need to know this before "they" spend any more serious bucks on a Hillary campaign..if they can't hound DeLay out, IMHO they won't waste the cash to try to run the Hildebeast.....
