Just saw 60 Mins (West Coast)...Delay looked bad.
Edited on Sun Mar-06-05 11:04 PM by Emboldened Chimp
This guy is going down. He was evasive and looked scared. He gave himself away by avoiding Stahl's questions when she ambushed him. The best part was when she pointed out that 12 of 15 of Earle's cases were Democrats, thus neutering Delay's ultra-lame charge that he's the hapless victim of a partisan attack. If Earl can cut a deal with his ex-associates, it'll be orange jumpsuits and soap-on-a-rope for Tommy-boy.

1. yes, it was a good piece and Earle didn't hedge or give an inch
and kudos to Stahl. When i lived in Texas for a short time i learned a lot about Delay and his ilk, i sit here in california....waiting, I'll wait for as long as it takes because Delay cannot escape forever.

7. That ambush was a thing of beauty.

DeLay ran and hid like a big baby.

"I know CBS likes to make up news," he blustered.

8. Lesley Stahl did a good job
She showed up at one of his press conferences, and he couldn't ignore her -- although he did evade.

9. I'd love to see Delay in an orange jumpsuit.
Black and white stripes would fit nice too.

11. "Being called vindictive and partisan by Tom DeLay...
is like being called ugly by a frog."

I damn near pissed myself and props to 60 Minutes for leaving that quote in.

Whaddyawanna bet Leslie Stahl announces her retirement next week?

13. I always love to DeLay blind sided.
I have some real faith beginning to brew in this investigation. It's being done in the right fashion, even if that means it takes longer than I like. I'm quite pleased with the prosecutor, his history and his style.

14. With Apologies to Kafka...
As Tom Delay awoke one morning from uneasy dreams he found himself transformed in his bed into a gigantic insect. He was lying on his hard, as it were armor-plated, back and when he lifted his head a little he could see his domelike brown belly divided into stiff arched segments on top of which the bed quilt could hardly stay in place and was about to slide off completely. His numerous legs, which were pitifully thin compared to the rest of his bulk, waved helplessly before his eyes.

What has happened to me? he thought. It was no dream. His room, a regular human bedroom, only rather too small, lay quiet within its four familiar walls....

15. Delay will never go to jail for this
Ever. Remember what the Republican Janklow got for killing a guy while speeding through a stop sign? 100 days? Remember how virtually no major media reported he was a Republican?
