Tom DeLay: "If no one else will bring ethics charges against Cynthia
McKinney, I will." I heard Al Franken say this on the radio near the beginning of his show. Since DeLay is still in congress, he can bring ethics charges.

Anyhow, Franken didn't seem to be kidding, but didn't pursue the issue. Has anyone heard about this? If true, it's a total piece of insanity.

2. He probably paid the cop to harrass her
But then, I just realized this week that no one EVER harrasses Black legislators, there are no such things as racism and sexism, and a hired cop who can't even do his job properly is easier to defend than an elected Congressperson of color.

Here I've believed that Delay and the GOP orchestrated this Capitol thing to take the heat off Delay, but no. They would never do such a thing to a Democrat. Never. Never. Never.


:sarcasm:

3. You have got to be kidding me!
The audacity and hypocrisy of this matter truly reeks up the whole country. Of ALL the people in the congress to be pointing fingers right now. Of all the people in AMERICA to be pointing fingers right now. What the hell does that cretin do? Drink his fucking bug spray?

4. I hope he does it, and it sparks an all-out ethics war.
Bring congress to a halt.
