WTF?!! Delay Threatens to Seek Complaint Against McKinney
Edited on Wed Apr-05-06 10:19 PM by AtomicKitten
Wow, just f***ing wow. This is completely out of control.

Excerpt:

“If nobody in this House files an ethics charge, I am,” DeLay said in response to a question about McKinney. “Her behavior is outrageous. And it’s not the only time.”

DeLay was asked if he supported the Capitol Police’s actions following the incident with McKinney, which took place last week when she bypassed a metal detector and a police officer stopped her.

“You bet,” he said.

“It’s outrageous behavior,” he said about McKinney. “Had it been Tom DeLay, the Ethics Committee would have met the next day.”

7. A joke? Hardly. These guys are serious A-holes
It used to be a jaw dropper to see some crooked SOB like Tom DeLay have the gall to point their gnarled fingers at others, as if they are squeaky clean. But over six years of the GOP culture of corruption has taught me one thing above all else - dno't ever think you've seen the most outrageous when it comes to their behavior. They'll ante it up every time.

8. Sounds like they are D-E-S-P-E-R-A-T-E !!!!!
And sorry to the DU'ers who have been posting about how wrong McKinney was (even before there's been proof of anything yet)..

But I seriously think that this is going to backfire on the Thugs.

15. I accept your apology.
Edited on Wed Apr-05-06 10:29 PM by AtomicKitten
Quibble about the details of whether or not she hit the cop, she should have stopped when asked at a security checkpoint. Sorry that offends delicate sensibilities. I'm a no nonsense kind of person.

This is a crappy battle for those who want to combat racism; what this is is fodder for the bastards. It's subterfuge for the weasels. And I say bullshit to that.

Aarrgggghhhhhh!!!!

9. It's incredible how this is the "issue" du jour. Delay was on Hannity
and boy, they went straight from Delay's marvelous motives for resigning straight to Mackinnon, what a horrible person she was and how that guard was so BRAVE to have confronted her not knowing if she had a bomb and a guard had once died in his arms........

I mean, I know congressmen don't give much of a shit about anything except themselves and their personal security and personal grudges, but here's the majority leader one on one and half the alloted time is this incident and what a bad rep she has...as if anyone could possibly give a shit. Even Hannity can't pretend that this is the issue of the day. I don't carry any brief for HER, I don't know the facts, but there's no way this incident matters. It's not even an inside the Beltway story. It's an inside the Rotunda story.

12. Did they discuss the Homeland Security PERVERT at all ??
Just curious because I wouldn't watch that show for anything.. but I am wondering if they discussed the PORNO-CREEP working for their administration?

10. You know, when I scanned the humongous freeper thread
about Tom stepping down, I didn't really understand why there was so much discussion about Cynthia in that thread. Apparently in their minds the two stories are related somehow.

:shrug:

16. Is Delay married? I bet he calls out his own name during sex.
What a freak that man is.
