Tom Delay to sue Howard Dean?
How do you like that Delay he might be suing a doctor!!

Anyway, Kos heard this rumor and says it's over a anti-Delay ad ran by Dean's Democracy for America group.

4. DeLay should be more concerned
About retaining the services of a good criminal defense attorney. He's gonna need one.

8. Can you even IMAGINE the fund raising for legal fees?
Howard would have unlimited defense funds. He would bury DeLay

11. This is a great ad-it has been playing on Houston channels for a while
This is a great ad. I have seen it a couple of times on one or more of the Houston channels.

If Delay is stupid enough to file suit, then the ad will get a great deal more air time for free. This is going to be fun.

12. Sue over what???????????????
watch the ad. There's nothing in it false, that is to those of us here in reality. Unlike Delay's twisted world. I wonder if he's suing as a campaign tactic to make his self the victim, or is he suing out of his famous, out of control, raging anger and bullying.

He should know he can't bully Dean.

13. Too bad you cant buy options on Dean's fundraising numbers.
You'd get rich about a week after that lawsuit was filed.

15. It is true. Dean announced it at the Retirement party.
See the blog comments at
www.blogforamerica.com

He apparently had twinkling eyes when he announced it. :evilgrin:

18. Like the way two opponents of Dean Dozens are using the scream.
They are using the scream in their ads. Dean made another ad with one of them. The opponents are not running on any viable issues, so they figure they can use him.
