Roll Call: "DeLay Con Carnie"

[Rose Siding]

Looks like Thursday’s big tribute to House Majority Leader Tom DeLay (R-Texas) could turn into a regular carnival.

When hundreds of conservatives show up at the Capital Hilton to show solidarity with their embattled leader, liberal protesters dressed like carnies will be standing outside the hotel causing all kinds of trouble. In fact they even plan to set up a mini carnival.

The fake carnies, donning skimmer hats and all, are bringing in a 17-foot striker with a big bell at the top and a sign on it that reads: “Drop the Hammer, Smash Corruption.” They’ll also have a wheel of corruption listing “all the things that DeLay has done wrong,” as protest organizer Scott Goodstein puts it. Step right up and spin the wheel. If you land on “corruption” — well, by golly, you win a free bar of soap.

Goodstein said the protesters, organized by the group Campaign for a Cleaner Congress, a project of America Family Voices, will hand out bars of soap to DeLay supporters as they enter the dinner so they can “clean up their act and scour their ranks of Tom DeLay.”
