1. Yes, it was quite refreshing. It would have been better if they didn't
even have him on.

2. Right, a news organization shutting out our opponents is exactly what we need.
Oh that damned First Amendment. Why must it apply to people I don't like, too?

6. I think there would
have been more reputable and objective observers to discuss the issue than one who has already assumed and contends that this is a "made up" crisis. Tom Delay and Bill O'Reilly certainly have the right to express their opinions but journalism should be honest. No where was it mentioned that he is under indictment for political ethical violations.

9. Why give credence to a cretin? He's been INDICTED! He Resigned in Shame!
Having him on dismisses all of that and lends credence to his stance.

11. Because he represents Republicans. I think DeLay should be publicized big time.
Tom DeLay is the true face of the Republican Party. Why would you want them shown any other way?

26. I've thought about that but I'd rather see moderate Republicans.
People like DeLay only inflame issues and further divide this nation (like the Limbaughs of the world).

44. As long as Houston has crappy mass transit, Buggy's legacy will live on.
He's played a crucial role in keeping Houston car dependent. Not quite sure of why he's done this, other than an ideological attachment to maximum pollution. Truly a dangerous weirdo

Edited on Tue Mar-20-07 01:16 PM by youthere
And personally I'd rather watch a ham sandwich on the Today show, than watch that asshat.

12. The government infringing free speech is not an issue here.
The first amendment has nothing to do with this.

25. It's not a Frist Amendment Issue
Why should the media give a despicable asshat like Delay a national stage? Isn't there someone who at least didn't resign in shame that NBC could have on. Oh, yeah, but he's got to plug his book, which is probably published by an affiliate of GE, so why not pretend he's here to offer his drunken thoughts on the USA purge?

14. He's as dumb as a bag of hammers!
He can't seem to produce linear thought. His actions and speech are consistent with organic brain disease.

17. LOL
that's more original (and apropo) than "dumb as a door knob".

he is a hollow man, trying to hawk his shitty book and rehaibilitate himself in the eyes of his crowd- the most extremist nuttiest nuts in the GOP.

23. He really did come across as dumber 'n shit.
Barely two neurons to rub together.
The contrast in intelligence between him and Ms Viera (sp?) was striking.

Before I even knew who he was or knew much about politics, I always thought he looked creepy and like a snake oil salesman.

Meredith doesn't wear underwear, either. Not that that matters for anything; she announced it while ago on The View. But it makes the interview all that much more interesting to watch!

:evilgrin:

13. When Tom Delay begins doing interviews from Prison
I'll believe that things are getting back to the way they should be in DC.

While I've lived in DC for the past eighteen years, it only took me three to come to the realization that the entire congress would be overturned every four years if the things that go on here were common knowledge to the voters back home. You don't have to scratch the veneer to see the sleaze in this town.

31. She KNEW what she was talking about, didn't use a cheat sheet
And choked and slammed the Bug man every time he lied, and he tried about 4 times and she body slammed him Like Hulk Hogan did to Randy Savage in Hulk's prime.

32. Delay is flogging a book
He was on NPR this morning.

He was speaking in this nice, soothing voice but what he was saying was just plain nuts.

I am convinced there is a parallel universe that GOPs live in.

May it diverge from our own as soon as possible.

33. Screwed, as Thom Hartmann's book tells us, the Middle Class is screwed by Rs
Edited on Tue Mar-20-07 01:15 PM by EVDebs
http://www.thomhartmann.com/screwed/author.htm

Screwed The DECLARED War Against the Middle Class is how it should read ! R's have deliberately and oonsciously set about wrecking the Middle Class thanks to idiots like DeLay, Norquist, Bush, etc. etc.

They'll be lucky getting elected dog-catcher in another two long years of perp walks. The end of America's "Republican Guard" is near.

39. Wow. Delay is a stuttering, blubbering fool.
It seems like he thought this was going to be a fluff piece... then BOOM! Meredith Viera w/ a quick jab to Delay's face. Called him out on something he mumbled when the cameras were elsewhere. Delay was never able to gain his footing back after that.
