2. Did he just get a fucking standing ovation???

[msgadget]

5. Yep.

Incredible. Absolutely incredible. He just flat denied everything and blamed the democrats as being a danger to democracy. Excuse me while I hurl. :puke:

[tcfrogs]

6. I heard a lot of applause

Wasn't watching, but heard it...

[Kurovski]

12. Were they applauding the audacity

of Delay using the word "shame"?

I'd applaud, too.

3. seemed like Conyers was allowed like 2 min and he was speaking forever

[proud2BlibKansan]

4. Who?

[mordarlar]

8. DeLay spoke a long time

[budkin]

7. Because they are the majority...

and they don't have any qualms about being unfair.

[Historic NY]

9. 5 minute max for each some of the others yeilded back their time....

so others could talk.

10. Hasquirt took his sweet time

calling the house to order, too.

[housewolf]

11. Delay is the majority leader

he makes the rules to suit himself

[bunny planet]

13. not for long.

14. Could DeLay be more of a dick???

Oh, excuse me, could he be more disingenuous? (Forgot my manners there for a minute.)
