And a word about Tom DeLay, I figured it out



| Reddit | Tumblr | Digg | FARK

DeLay didn't use Terri Schiavo to divert attention from his ethics problems. He used Terri Schiavo to suck up to the religious right so they'll put pressure on Congress and the White House to save his ass. That's why he's going off on judges, even though the polls say he's out of his mind. He's sucking up to the wingnuts so he'll become indispensable to them, their hero, their number one fan in Congress. He doesn't care HOW much his loony toons comments hurt the party or the White House. He's in the process of saving his ass. And that's why Cheney finally weighed in. To tell DeLay that he's not going to sacrifice everyone else in order to save himself.

If everyone plays their cards right, DeLay is toast. Of course, it also means the Dems should jump up now and take advantage of this split between DeLay trying to save himself and his embarrassing the party. Link what he's doing to the debate on the filibuster and the upcoming Supreme Court nominations. Hell, it IS linked. What the Dems need to do is start TALKING about the linkage. Or will they sit back, like they always do, and say la la la, with their fingers in their ears, hoping things turn out well without their intervention?
