Delay must be coming on strong if all these hitmen are gunning for him.
Boy they're really lighting up the presses with this Delay stuff... amazing how soon on the heels of a Democrat party threat this comes. Don't they even want to appear not to be in direct control of MSM outlets?
NYT front-page splash, WP headline selling a story on a junket from 1997...
Contrast this with almost ZERO MSM coverage for Juanita Broderick.
Sheesh.
A trip from 8 years ago gets more news play than Clinton bag boy Sandy Bergler pleading guilty to stealing secret documents.
And they say there's no media bias...isn't that cute!?
Qaty Queriq will lead off the Today show tomorrow with this DeLay story.
Go git im.
Send email, flood the dems with email.
Delay must stand tuff.
One of my buddies saw Pelosi in Jordan last week. What was she doing there? Who paid?
Why do they attack him?
For the same reason Bill Clinton connives immature post teenagers to perform fellatio on him...........Because he (they) can.
Where is the LA Slimes? Did they miss the memo saying that April 6 was the day for hit pieces on Delay?
Here is the FR thread on the NY Slimes entry in the anti-Delay hit piece contest.
Political Groups Paid Two Relatives of House Leader (Delay)
New York Times ^ | April 6, 2005 | PHILIP SHENON
None of us know the specifics yet, but come on. If delay did anything illegal, we ought not defend him. I am not going to excuse this because other people do it as well. Don't get me wrong, I am not saying throw him to the dogs. It is important that we keep our standards high for our own leaders.
That's what I call digging...
Okay, so, we have commercials of fake republicans calling for actions against getting rid of the filibuster; commercials by AARP scaring the seasoned citizens about re-forming SS, old stories of trips by Delay (Nancy Pelosi, please call your office), non-stop articles by reuters and ap about how bad Iraq is and the best I can tell, Sandy Burglar goes largely unnoticed as well as out and out obstruction by the democartic party elected to office when it comes to Particular posts to the u.n....
Yeah, no collusion by the Dem's and the MSM..

The group going after Tom Delay in the latest Post and New York Times articles is Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW) is a non-profit, progressive legal watchdog group dedicated to holding public officials accountable for their actions.
Citizens For Responsibility and Ethics
In Washington
Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW) is a new government watchdog group. CREW brings legal cases exposing government officials who betray the public interest by serving special interests. CREW's cases target not only such officials, but also the special interests supporting them. CREW is nonpartisan and is a non-profit, 501(c)(3) organization.
Executive Director Melanie Sloan, Sloan was formerly an Assistant United States Attorney in the District of Columbia, from 1998- early 2003.
Before becoming a prosecutor, Ms. Sloan was Minority Counsel for the U.S. House of Representatives Judiciary Committee from 1995 to 1998 where she worked for Ranking Member Congressman John Conyers, specializing in criminal enforcement issues, including the Independent Counsel law. In 1994, Ms. Sloan served as Counsel on the Crime Subcommittee of the House Judiciary Committee, working for then Representative Charles Schumer. In 1993, Ms. Sloan served as Nominations Counsel to the Senate Judiciary Committee, under then Chairman Senator Joseph Biden, where she researched the backgrounds of nominees to high level Department of Justice positions and to the federal courts.
· According to The Hill, GOP research also revealed that Mark Penn, a formed pollster for President Clinton, and Daniel Berger, a major Democratic donor, serve on CREW’s board. Spokeswoman Naomi Seligman refused to reveal the membership of CREW’s board, although she admitted that Penn and Berger are members.
Last year, Berger made a $100,000 contribution to America Coming Together (ACT), a 527 group that was dedicated to defeating George W.Bush in the presidential election, according to politicalmoneyline.com, a Web site that tracks fund-raising. According to records released by the Internal Revenue Service on Monday, March 21, 2005, and obtained by NewsMax.com, Soros Fund Management/George Soros gave the group a whopping $7.5 million in the 2004 election cycle.
· Democracy 21, headed by longtime liberal activist Fred Wertheimer, who once headed the left-wing group Common Cause. The group's board of directors has given "tens of thousands to Democrats,” the GOP research showed. A survey by The Hill of fund-raising data on politicalmoneyline.com showed that three members of the group’s board, including Dick Clark, a former Democratic senator from Iowa, gave nearly $20,000 in contributions to Democrats since the beginning of the 2000 election cycle while Republicans received not a cent from board members, according to the survey by The Hill.
Lexa Edsall, a consultant to the group, served in the Clinton administration, and Amanda Lewis, the communications director, worked for former New York Democratic Gov. Mario Cuomo, according to the GOP research.
Democracy 21’s education fund also received a $50,000 grant from Soros’ institute in 2003, the most recent year for which data are available, according to a 990 form filed with the Internal Revenue Service. The GOP research paper states that the group has received $300,000 in total from Soros' Open Society Institute.
· Joining in the lynch mob, House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., called for a bipartisan panel to review the chamber’s ethics procedures.
· Rep. Rahm Emmanuel, D-Ill., the chairman of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee and a Clinton White House aide, has put together a scheme to use alleged ethics violations as an issue in races against DeLay and Rep. Bob Ney, R-Ohio, The Hill reported last week.
Republicans told The Hill that the evidence reveals a coordinated effort between House Democrats and the liberal pressure groups to damage DeLay and the GOP leadership politically.
Was HE the one who stuffed archived documents into his underwear and shredded some too?
If so I don't like this guy and as far as I'm concerned he should have been "tarred and feathered" instead of just getting a $10,000 fine and a 3 year restriction from his defense knowledge! /s
The fact is he gets under their skin. Betcha they will make it four (4) investigations by say, June?
And what's the statute of limitations on this "crime"? [/sarc]
How much attention did the media give THIS??:
If this is worthy of investigation, I'm sure they'll open investigations into Klinton's Brother and Madeline Not-So-Bright's trips to South Korea. It's funny how nobody ever questioned Secy. of Commerce Brown's trips abroad, either.
