A principled politician would know enough to stay the hell out of the equation. What Delay pulled today was an embarassment. His acts of grandstanding have given the Democrats the ammo they need to further their wacko agenda. I've seen some screwups in politics, but todays facade on the Hill is the biggest one to date.
I agree it's shame that it's come to this emergency maneuvering once again, but DeLay and Hastert have no choice now. What Judge Greer is doing in ordering this woman killed ASAP is much worse an affront to civil society
