Three Houston TV stations to air ads critical of DeLay


HOUSTON The number of Houston television stations planning to air a slightly sanitized version of an anti-Tom Delay ad has now reached three.

N-B-C affiliate K-P-R-C and C-B-S affiliate K-H-O-U have decided to join Fox affiliate K-R-I-V in airing the 30-second spot. A-B-C affiliate K-T-R-K is still choosing not to air the spot.

All four had declined to air a previous version of the commercial attacking the Republican congressman from the Houston suburb of Sugar Land. The new ad says DeLay "received" campaign money from disgraced super-lobbyist Jack Abramoff (AY'-bruh-mahf). The original said he "pocketed" the money.

The original ad, paid for by two liberal groups, was supposed to start running on Houston stations last week. The DeLay campaign sent letters asking them not to run the ad, saying it was misleading. The new version says "Here's the ad Tom DeLay does not want you to see."

1. LOL! Man, That's Gotta Chap His Ass!

:rofl:

[gratuitous]

2. Gee, they're awfully circumspect when it comes to criticizing the GOP

Real careful about the facts and the wording, aren't they? It would be touching if criticism was analyzed evenly, regardless of party. But one swift boat guy goes against 50 others in saying that Kerry didn't "deserve" his Purple Hearts, and the media can't broadcast that minority opinion enough.

3. Surely these people must understand how much respect they've lost

since _Bush stole the pResidency. It will take generations before Democrats should take them seriously.

[blm]

4. BushInc must be throwing Delay over the side. If they had wanted the ads

blocked, they would still be blocked. Bush mafia runs that town.

[f-bush]

5. Good! Tell it like it is

and quit pussy footing around. Half the problem is that the corporate media covers up for these assholes.

6. Well, if he didn't "pocket" it, what did he do with it, then?

Semantics.

7. It's all about the conotative meaning...

as always the 'Pukes are all about appearance with no real substance...

[Straight Shooter]

8. Like the meaning of their purple Band-Aids at the Convention.

They can dish it out but they sure can't take it, can they?
