Bullsqueeze. Tancredo throwing DeLay under the bus was wrong, and Tancredo knows it.
Probably true.
But several months earlier Delay had told Tancredo he was finished in the House and promised to leave him languishing on minor committees. This was because Tancredo supported actual conservatives in the Republican primaries against open borders incumbent RINOs like Chris Cannon R-UT and Jim Kolbe R-Az. I'll agree that Tancredo was probably wrong but Delay picked the fight.
