Tom DeLay was on today's Meet The Press because:

[zulchzulu]

Poll question: Tom DeLay was on today's Meet The Press because:

[PresidentObama]

1. Because he has nothing better to do with his time now. n/t

[Robbien]

2. They needed someone outrageous to hide the fact

they were not talking about Plame and the purged attornies. Distract the masses.

Appears to be working.

[zulchzulu]

4. Good point...

The Plamegate story has nothing to do with the Iraq War.

:sarcasm:

[dchill]

5. "to hide the fact..."

There you go.

[kirby]

3. He was a Rep

"Indicted senators who were forced to resign are people too"

He was Representative, not a Senator, and was Majority Leader in the House.

He is sickening. They guys talk about 'support the troops'. Except when Sestek is sitting next to them and his military opinion does not agree with their political purposes, they dismiss him.

[zulchzulu]

6. Good point...

Now the coffee is kicking in. What was I thinkin'...

[kirby]

12. Keep drinking...

Hehe - have some more coffee. He was Majority Leader, not Speaker of the House (that was Denny Hastart).

[opihimoimoi]

7. He is an Attention Whore....wants to be in the LIMELIGHT...the focus of attention

traits of a bully..he will lie, scheme, connive, etc

There should be a Bully Jail for BULLIES....he qualies....

[Graybeard]

8. He's the third stooge in the act...

Timmie the media stooge, DeLay the Repuke stooge, Perle the PNAC stooge. Together again for The Three Stooges Sunday Comedy Hour!

[hlthe2b]

9. The Repugs have to rotate their liars periodically.....

Perle and Delay's number came up....

[Lautremont]

10. Noticed small rip in human likeness mask, revealing lizard skin beneath.

So he's in for repairs today.

[Hepburn]

11. Other...

...compared to BushCo, Hot Tub Tommy looks honest.

[POAS]

13. Other- He's shilling for his new book

[mahatmakanejeeves]

14. Other

Because retired VADM Joe Sestak needs to hear military advice from someone with as much experience as Tom DeLay.

Bonus: Reichard Perle is there to advise too.

I was going to edit for typing Perle's first name as "Reichard," but on second thought, it seems to fit.

[xxqqqzme]

15. doesn't he have a defense fundraiser to attend?

(why do we spell it w/ an 's' and the Brits w/ a 'c'?)

[NoPasaran]

16. There is no Justice.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

17. I almost puked when I saw him - A crook, sitting there smirking

I loved it when the anti-war guy (never saw him before) put him in his place saying that generals knew more than Tom Delay.

Why in the hell would MTP have a crook on ? Aren't there any reputable people who support the war?

[ellenfl]

18. other - he was all they could get. eom

[agincourt]

19. The media whores miss the repig congress badly already

and he's a nice warm trip down memory lane. A media full of Tom Delay groupies, makes the strongest stomach sick.

[TankLV]

20. It's either this criminal or that criminal - it's all the repukes have left...
