Tom Delay on NPR

Category: Politics            Tuesday, March 20, 2007 at 8:26 am

Tom Delay was interviewed on NPR this am, I think in an attempt to promote his new memoir, but really it just gave NPR a chance to make Delay look bad!  Approx. excerpt….

Delay - Democrats are the enemy, why would I work with the enemy?

NPR - perhap because they are civic minded Americans

Delay - they don’t agree with my agenda for America - they are the enemy

NPR - tell us about the K street strategy

Delay - you have to work with people outside of Congress to be successful

NPR - isn’t there something bad about lobbyist paying you off and writing republican legislation?
Delay - well the Democrats do it too!

And the republicans are now complaining that the Democrats are too partisan?

I listened to the same interview: Tom Delay used NPR to make himself look bad. He got a running start at it too, saying that the guy who was pressured to resign the veterans’ affairs committe had asked for to much money for the V.A., which turned out to be almost the exact amount later approved, but only after the Walter Reed scandal broke - a minor detail you forgot to paraphrase. One would not be partial in declaring Delay to be one of the most retarded idiots imagineable, based on listening to that interview. Thank god he got what he deserved.
