Tom Delay was a guest on Meet the Press this past Sunday and will be a guest on Hardball tonight. Is there a reason his opinion on anything should matter? A former Congressman, currently under indictment, who was forced out of office should not be appearing on any valid news shows. Delay should go back to the hole he crawled out of and wait for his conviction. The idea that he is treated as if he is still an honored member of Congress is disgraceful. Why don't they ask William Jefferson's opinion on current events as well?
Two weeks ago, the blog community successfully "spanked" Ann Coulter. By contacting advertisers and those advertisers pulling their ads from her website, we cost Ann money. This was a well worth the effort.
I am asking the Dkos community to do the same regarding Tom Delay. If everyone sends a note to Meet the Press and Hardball, they will know that Tom Delay is a disgrace and should not appear on "valid" news programs. If he wants to appear on Faux News, I do not have a problem with that. However, appearing on Meet the Press and Hardball gives Delay credibility he does deserve.
