Have you noticed the Media and the Delay Story isn't wall to wall...
LIKE IT WOULD BE IF IT WAS A DEMOCRAT???????
If this was Kennedy, Gore, Clinton....we would hear their whole background, from pinching a babies butt, to mis-pronounced names...every negative thing about their political and personal life.
BUT, let it be a republican, and only short segments and how christian they are....HOW LONG CAN THIS GO ON..forever, as long as we have the "LIBRIL MEDIA"!!!!! UGH..

:rant: :rant: :puke: :grr:

2. At least on CNN it isn't...
...all they can talk about is the Carroll story, and the possible, POSSIBLE mind you, arrest of Rep. Cynthia McKinney.

I saw a spot on MSNBC just a short time ago on Delay, and they showed him making his speech. I nearly choked when he told of his "love for the Republican party"?!?!

3. yes it would be a political obituary non-stop
You're right of course. Now it's no big deal. My question is why is he making this decision now? Didn't he just fight a primary battle? All of that money from people just wasted- I'd be a pissed contributor. Is it Abramoff? What is making him quit now? GOP pressure? These people never ever give up unless they have to. I won't find out on TV that's for sure.

5. I really think they don't know what to say, having ignored the REAL story
The very sources of Delay's power--money, lobbyists, partisanship--extended to the media and those polticians that make themselves avaiable to the media and has been ingnored to date. Delay's resignation has to be noticed, but the sea change can't be, unless the story begins

"Here's something we pretty much ignored the last dozen years--Delay was the pinnacle of a world of legal corruption of politics."
