Schiavo memo tied to Toxic Tom DeLay. Gee, what a shock.
Before the GOP and its shills try to pass off the Schiavo memo as the work of "some staffer", note that:

1. The memo was penned by Martinez' Chief Legal Counsel -- a senior level position, not to mention a seasoned political pro; and

2. Martinez himself passed out copies of the memo

And there's a DeLay connection:

Now that Brian Darling of the Alexander Strategy Group has been penned as the author, it connects the dots to why Tom DeLay also used the talking points. The Alexander Strategy Group is a firm created by former DeLay chief of staff Ed Buckham (and yet another place from where DeLay's wife has cashed checks).

Tom DeLay used the talking points at least on three occasions...

Republicans; one big stinking pile of total corruption.

6. Recommended for greatest page.
This makes me sick. I know that we should expect this type of shit from weasels like DeLay. But this seems low, even for his ilk.

by letting him stay in congress the democrats have a "national" issue on which to run local elections.

21. don't worry - it will take a while to get rid of him
I wish we could get him out now but it will take months.

Besides, the more the "evil libruls" push him, the better and more crazy his reactions will be. Definately a chance to show how insane he is!!

Good going, Mel. The EASY bet is on how stupid wingnuts are. Next time.

13. Lynn, I've sent this to DailyKos and TomPaine.com
I'm sending this to everyone I can think of and then I'm going to Google and find some more.

And then I'm calling Congress.

I am one pissed off arnheim! They can steal elections, fuck our troops - whatever the hell they want to do??? I don't think so.

14. Sent this to True Majority and DailyDelay.blogspot.com

This will get out there. We can't let it slip.

I'll personally work to get this message out. One less repub, especially this snake, is fine with me.

On Jan. 6th, I personally made it my mission to help get rid of this guy after his comments about the 2004 election and the Dem challenge of the OH electoral votes.

15. Tom DeLay: "Ethics? We don't need no steenkin' ethics!"
Yeah? Well, wait and watch, Tom. You're radioactive now. (Toon from March 21, but the times they are a'changing.)

16. Exactly
For as much as we have heard about all this, my uneducated guess is that this seems to be the case.

This Delay guy has to be rotten to the core :puke:

20. The Passion Of The Bugman
The most scandalous film of the year, in which you'll feel the agony of the toxic exterminator being fed alive to the 'liberal elite media.' Yes the Passion of Tom DeLay during his persecution by evil liberal partisan attacks, will climax with his riveting struggle to keep the truth in the dark. Fellow Republicans will turn on the Bugman, and sacrifice Delay as an offering for Republican failures. Do not miss the screeching of Bugman as sunlight falls upon the truth in 'The Passion Of The Bugman'. *

* Suitable for all Americans, especially freepers.

23. Here's how we can work to get rid of Delay
1. Call your Congress critters toll free at 866-808-0065. Tell them that it's time for Delay to resign.

2. Sign petitions for his removal:

3. Email your Congress critters by going to this site:
http://www.congress.org/congressorg/home/

4. Email his corporate sponsors to drop him:

5. Mail a summary of actions against Delay to your Congress critters:
