DeLay's 'Salute': A Wave Goodbye?

[FreedomAngel82]

I'm listening to Hartmann and he's reading about this and according to him in 1997 DeLay was critizing Gingrich and they had a Salute to him and then he fell down. So could this be happening to DeLay? Seems like it to me. He's not doing anything good for the republicans for 2006 so I wouldn't be surprised.

As if things weren't bad enough for Rep. Tom DeLay: Now his friends are planning a tribute in his honor.

Not to be cynical about this, but (oh, what the heck) you know you're in trouble in Washington when this happens. The difference between a tribute and a eulogy is that during a tribute there is actually one person who believes every word," says Tom Daschle, who was the subject of his own tribute on March 1 -- four months after he was voted out of office. He is awaiting another tribute next month, this one hosted by civil rights groups.

If form holds, the salute to DeLay, which is scheduled for May 12 at the Capital Hilton, will feature a series of speeches testifying to his greatness and scores of hushed table conversations about whether the Texas Republican will survive as House majority leader and, more important, who might succeed him if he doesn't.>

1. Nope.

More a defiant slap in the face and we must respond in kind. We must redouble our efforts to tear down this dangerous demagogue. Politics is after all, war. War is a bloody undertaking, so let us engage in it as happily as they have all these years.

2. I agree

We can still use this for 2006 I think. I just think they're going to send DeLay off pretty soon. Either that or make him step down as majority leader or something to keep him quiet and make people forget about him.

3. Precisely...

They need to make him step down and then do all that they can to make him step OUT of the House of Representatives. If he stays in he is only going to cause more friction.
