Tom DeLay just got off the Today show.. He came on to talk about the GOP. So when Matt went through the recent string of Republican scandals, Defendant DeLay melted down. He resorted to blaming everything on Matt's media bias. It became a pathetic show of blaming Democrats for what is a Republican news story
Unfortunately, I'm not going to be able to do updates today -- very busy at work
The new punch line of the GOP is apparently
Republicans deal with problems, Democrats re-elect them
Support for this? Oh, you know, Barney Frank -- who is gay -- apparently had gay sex 25 years ago. I know....gasp. Delay also trotted out the tired old shit about William Jefferson (who honestly should resign) and the Monihan (sp) ethics investigation.
I find this new talking point slogan odd, as REPUBLICANS HAVE DONE NOTHING AGAINST DAVID VITTER. I also find it odd because Republicans did NOTHING -- not.a.thing to oust any of the Abramoff idiots.
Matt Lauer actually showed some backbone against Defendant Delay. He should get some support for doing this.
The bottom line is this. Republicans want Larry Craig to resign because if he runs for re-election, the Republicans will lose another senate seat in a red state. That's all they care about, and that's all they're trying to do. There's a diary on the front page about how they're dealing with Craig differently than Vitter because Craig is gay. Well that's absolutely true, but the root of that is the mouth breathing bigot who votes for Republicans in the first place.
Apologies for the hit-and-run diary
