DeLay Says He'll File Ethics Complaint Against McKinney

Soon-to-retire Rep. Tom DeLay (R.-Tex.) said today he would file an ethics complaint against Rep. Cynthia McKinney (D.-Ga.) for striking a Capitol Police officer should no other House member do so first.

DeLay’s comments came during a wide-ranging interview at his Capitol Hill office with reporters, including HUMAN EVENTS Editor Terry Jeffrey.

“If nobody in this House files an ethics charge, I am,” DeLay said in response to a question about McKinney. “Her behavior is outrageous. And it’s not the only time.”

DeLay was asked if he supported the Capitol Police’s actions following the incident with McKinney, which took place last week when she bypassed a metal detector and a police officer stopped her.

“You bet,” he said.

1. Hypocrisy knows no bounds..

although I don't know about this news source, but who could be surprised at anything Delay does or says.

[grytpype]

2. What a d*ckless piece of sh*t.

[jackster]

3. OMG

OH. MY. F'ING. GOD.

Let's see - robbing the American people of 1) a presidential election, 2) millions of dollars to put in yours and your friends' pockets, and 3) basically, democracy itself vs. an altercation with a police officer.

Yeah, that's about right.

lower than pond scum. he is.

4. Most. Hilarious. Thing. Ever.

This will be fun to watch. Good luck with that DeLay. Keep dragging your party down into the septic tank.

16. Gotta agree. This is hilarious! Man..what a sniveling loser this guy is.

What a pathetic sad little sub-human.

[warrens]

5. and this involves ethics HOW?

Tom Delay assaulted a Democratic member who was speaking on the floor of the house. Sucker punched him. This louse needs an exterminator, pronto.

6. Let's see...guy who trashed American democracy begs us to compare

his transgressions with that of a colleague with almost 0 power in Congress.

Nice move, bugman.

:eyes:

7. W. . . . . . . . . .T. . . . . . . . . . . . . . .F!?!?

8. Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain. n/t

[justice1]

9. Could he be any more transparent? nt

[tridim]

10. This is from The Onion, right?

Because that's the last thing I would have expected the #1 most unethical man in America to say.

[Misunderestimator]

11. Oh. my. god. Well, look who's an expert in ethics now.

ETHICS? Even if she did strike the officer in anger, which I HIGHLY doubt... how does that relate to ETHICS?

[babylonsister]

12. He just doesn't get it; he's so full of himself he can't see the big

picture? Talk about unethical, bugman; where'd he leave his?

[pepperbear]

13. so it's....

"I took the money and ran? Whatever, Ms. Thang, you hit a cop."

[rpgamerd00d]

14. Tom DeLay wouldn't know Ethics if it was an Abramoff Donation...

[meegbear]

15. The worst part of this ...

is that if he does, the repugs will basically shut down Congress until this "serious matter" gets settled. :eyes:

[htuttle]

17. GAAAAAAHH!!!!!

Could somebody get me a towel? Second time this week this happened....

[Ian David]

18. Yes, let congress debate this for hours and hours...

in a congress dominated by right-wing whacko Repukes, the more time they spend debating this, the less time they have to do real damage with real issues.

After this... can we spend a couple days making sure stores say "Merry Christmas" instead of "Happy Holidays," and that professional baseball players aren't using steroids?

Oh, and violent video games are a real problem, too.
