Classy!
If there's a single thing one can't accuse Tom DeLay of these days, it's inconsistency. As he prepares to slither off the political stage to a private life that likely will include lengthy appearances defending himself against felony charges, good Christian brother Tom cranked up the crazies this morning for one last venom-filled tirade against that ever-present liberal bogeyman, today played by Nick Lampson.
Soon to be unemployed DeLay campaign manager Chris Homan organized the freak show, designed to "wreck" Lampson's press conference, during which he outrageously suggested that the citizens of Congressional Disrict 22 deserve to have representation for the rest of the year, despite the Republican Party's desire to rig the process so DeLay can hand-pick his successor.
Apparently an elderly woman there to support Lampson was hit in the face with a DeLay sign and shoved by one of the young "men" there to raise hell. (Don't these guys have jobs?) There was much shouting and use of airhorns, making it difficult for reporters to hear Lampson's statement. Doesn't the image of the little spoiled brat who, when he doesn't get what he wants both covers his ears and shouts so he can't hear but also prevents anyone else from speaking, come to mind?
All in all, just the kind of classy behavior we have come to expect from Congressman DeLay and his crowd over the years. Gee, we're really going to miss them, won't you?
