Delay's upset with NBC and Law & Order
Hey, did anyone post this yet? Too funny....

Delay Slams NBC Over Criminal Intent

By John Eggerton -- Broadcasting & Cable, 5/26/2005 6:50:00 PM

House Majority leader Tom Delay fired off a letter to NBC Universal
Television Group President Jeffrey Zucker Thursday calling "a failure of
stewardship of our public airwaves," and a "brazen lack of judgment" a
shot taken at him during NBC's Law & Order: Criminal Intent finale May 25.

According to a transcript exerpt supplied B&C by Delay's office, the
show's finale features a white supremacist who kills a judge's family,
and the killing of an appellate judge. As the detectives hunt for the
judge killer, one says: "Maybe we should put out an APB for somebody in
a Tom DeLay T-Shirt."

18. I like CI except for Vincent D'Onofrio. He annoys me.
He's a know-it-all of the worst kind. He knows things that are IMPOSSIBLE to tell or figure out with the amount of information that he's given.

19. Ooooh - he's the reason I watch!
Edited on Fri May-27-05 01:34 AM by KT2000
his character is pretty complicated - probably obsessive/compulsive, child of a mother with schizophrenia and work obsessed.

Besides that - he is so huggable!

Some of his movies are pretty good too - especially The Whole Wide World
also Steal this Movie

3. Beautiful!
Let the weasel scream! That will only bring more attention to his fanaticism. Hopefully, a spokesperson for NBC will release Duh-lays statement about judges and say: "We report, you decide!"

8. Isn't it, though?
I've had the most lousy day and there aren't a lot of things that could have made me laugh tonight but finding this tidbit in my mailbox was one of them. Poor Tommy! heheh

6. Maybe he'll think twice about inflammatory language
against judges who he disagrees with based on their rulings. He would have zero problem with destroying their judicial independence.

11. I LOL the 1st time I heard this and I LOL again just now
I don't understand why he would be upset. Afterall, he did make the statement that was illogical at the time (given that the judge was a Southern Baptist conservative--just not right nutty enough,I guess).

16. Saw the show last night
and let out a YIP! It was great.

Law and Order has had a few gems but this one was too good. Figured someone would make a stink about it. Thin-skinned DeLay can't stand the heat.
