And it can also be interpreted as pandering to the liberal media and the RATs.
Tancredo should keep his damn mouth shut. With me, he's lost all credibility. Just another "vote pimp".
I hardly think that Tancredo is pandering to the media. Sure, he knows the media loves to play up GOP dissention, but he also knows that the media loathes him for his advocacy for conservative immigration reform, and that they never miss an opportunity to slime him. A mild suggestion that it might be best for DeLay to relinquish leadership until he settles things is not going to garner Tancredo any points with the media.
Still, I would prefer he not say what he did either, but I'm not going to condemn one of the best in Congress with regards to almost every issue, especially immigration which sets him above even Delay in my opinion.
