1. Yes, it was quite refreshing. It would have been better if they didn't

even have him on.

[Bucky]

2. Right, a news organization shutting out our opponents is exactly what we need.

Oh that damned First Amendment. Why must it apply to people I don't like, too?

[plcdude]

6. I think there would

have been more reputable and objective observers to discuss the issue than one who has already assumed and contends that this is a "made up" crisis. Tom Delay and Bill O'Reilly certainly have the right to express their opinions but journalism should be honest. No where was it mentioned that he is under indictment for political ethical violations.

[Roland99]

9. Why give credence to a cretin? He's been INDICTED! He Resigned in Shame!

Having him on dismisses all of that and lends credence to his stance.

[Bucky]

11. Because he represents Republicans. I think DeLay should be publicized big time.

Tom DeLay is the true face of the Republican Party. Why would you want them shown any other way?

[Roland99]

26. I've thought about that but I'd rather see moderate Republicans.

People like DeLay only inflame issues and further divide this nation (like the Limbaughs of the world).

[DainBramaged]

37. He is out of his league off of FAUX News

[DainBramaged]

43. Last kick, then we forget about buggy

[Bucky]

44. As long as Houston has crappy mass transit, Buggy's legacy will live on.

He's played a crucial role in keeping Houston car dependent. Not quite sure of why he's done this, other than an ideological attachment to maximum pollution. Truly a dangerous weirdo

[youthere]

34. Ahhhh Indictment Schmitement.."You can get a grand jury to indict a ham sandwich."

And personally I'd rather watch a ham sandwich on the Today show, than watch that asshat.

[malaise]

41. I've been wondering why so many criminals

get airtime on MSM. They are shameless.

[MGKrebs]

12. The government infringing free speech is not an issue here.

The first amendment has nothing to do with this.

[Throwing Stones]

25. It's not a Frist Amendment Issue

Why should the media give a despicable asshat like Delay a national stage? Isn't there someone who at least didn't resign in shame that NBC could have on. Oh, yeah, but he's got to plug his book, which is probably published by an affiliate of GE, so why not pretend he's here to offer his drunken thoughts on the USA purge?

[DainBramaged]

3. Nah, she didn't kid glove hm like katie would have

He was fumblin and sputterin and side stepping, a treat.

[valerief]

7. Katie would have been on her knees for him. She's such a repuke ho. nt

[Supersedeas]

19. Absolutely no way Katie Penciled Lips Couric confronts Tom Delay

[valerief]

20. Ha! Yeah, her lips are really scary. They used to shine like solar glare. nt

[Henryman]

14. He's as dumb as a bag of hammers!

He can't seem to produce linear thought. His actions and speech are consistent with organic brain disease.

[npincus]

17. LOL

that's more original (and apropo) than "dumb as a door knob".

he is a hollow man, trying to hawk his shitty book and rehaibilitate himself in the eyes of his crowd- the most extremist nuttiest nuts in the GOP.

[kath]

23. He really did come across as dumber 'n shit.

Barely two neurons to rub together.
The contrast in intelligence between him and Ms Viera (sp?) was striking.

[Lil Missy]

35. He always makes me think of snake oil

Before I even knew who he was or knew much about politics, I always thought he looked creepy and like a snake oil salesman.

[RiverStone]

36. Yea - the more wrong he is, the bigger he smiles...

Very creepy indeed!

:puke:

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

15. I feel the same way. It gives him credibility. eom

[Cha]

16. Could look at it this way..

tom sleazebag delay is a constant reminder of what is wrong with the republiCON party.

[DainBramaged]

24. Well, it showed he was an asshole, and she has ballz

Most TV talking heads kiss DeLies ass.

[npincus]

4. Saw that-- he looked really uncomfortable

when he's not on an extreme RW venue he's not so frigging sure of himself, is he?

[DainBramaged]

38. He looked like he had ants in his pants!

[Atman]

5. That was awesome. She kicked Tommy boy's ass!

Meredith doesn't wear underwear, either. Not that that matters for anything; she announced it while ago on The View. But it makes the interview all that much more interesting to watch!

:evilgrin:

.

[Parche]

8. TOM

Dont Delay, Call Meredith Viera TODAY!!!!!

[Cha]

18. You're

bad. :)

[kstewart33]

10. He was stuttering his way through it.

Well done, Vieira.

[DCKit]

13. When Tom Delay begins doing interviews from Prison

I'll believe that things are getting back to the way they should be in DC.

While I've lived in DC for the past eighteen years, it only took me three to come to the realization that the entire congress would be overturned every four years if the things that go on here were common knowledge to the voters back home. You don't have to scratch the veneer to see the sleaze in this town.

[Throwing Stones]

21. was he drunk?

or is he always that inarticulate?

[valerief]

22. I think he might have been sober and that was his problem. nt

[proud2BlibKansan]

27. He has inhaled too much pesticide

[DainBramaged]

28. He's one of them

[zulchzulu]

29. Meredith! Thanks for the Extreme Smackdown! Woo hoo!

Granted, it was like wrestling the Pillbury Dough Boy...

[cyberpj]

30. K&R! US should realize intelligent women can talk rings around corrupt rich white men! Atta girl !

If we could just get more intelligent outspoken fearless women in congress this country would be a better place.

New campaign slogan - Let the Face of Congress look just like the Face of America!

[DainBramaged]

31. She KNEW what she was talking about, didn't use a cheat sheet

And choked and slammed the Bug man every time he lied, and he tried about 4 times and she body slammed him Like Hulk Hogan did to Randy Savage in Hulk's prime.

[Warpy]

32. Delay is flogging a book

He was on NPR this morning.

He was speaking in this nice, soothing voice but what he was saying was just plain nuts.

I am convinced there is a parallel universe that GOPs live in.

May it diverge from our own as soon as possible.

[EVDebs]

33. Screwed, as Thom Hartmann's book tells us, the Middle Class is screwed by Rs

http://www.thomhartmann.com/screwed/author.htm

Screwed The DECLARED War Against the Middle Class is how it should read ! R's have deliberately and oonsciously set about wrecking the Middle Class thanks to idiots like DeLay, Norquist, Bush, etc. etc.

They'll be lucky getting elected dog-catcher in another two long years of perp walks. The end of America's "Republican Guard" is near.

[Hatalles]

39. Wow. Delay is a stuttering, blubbering fool.

It seems like he thought this was going to be a fluff piece... then BOOM! Meredith Viera w/ a quick jab to Delay's face. Called him out on something he mumbled when the cameras were elsewhere. Delay was never able to gain his footing back after that.

[DainBramaged]

40. I never realized she had it in her.

[heatstreak]

42. kick

[wryter2000]

45. Just had a minute to watch this

Hoooeeee! Who woulda thunk? :wow: I want her sitting next to Helen Thomas and asking that idjit Snow questions. Think he'd tell her to zip it?

[rucky]

46. I was hoping to see a literal crap-knocking...

but I'll settle for this. Nice work, Meredith!
