EXCLUSIVE:Tom Delay goes toe-to-toe with Britt Hume
Edited on Fri Apr-01-05 11:11 AM by underpants
There was NO such mention of DeLay's ethics scandals, nothing. Twice, when DeLay made improper assertions, Brit Hume rephrased for him rather than challenging him.

BH: Mr. DeLay, you pompous ignorant ass, are you aware of the Constitutional principle of separation of powers and the meaning of the phrase 'checks and balances'?" (Comment: April Fool! I only wish he said that.) <----that's from Newshounds, too funny

Actual "interview"

BH: "In other words if she had left in writing a statement to the effect that 'if I ever reach the point that I am in a vegetative state, unable to think and act on my own, I don't wish to continue to live' pulling the feeding tube in that instance for you would have been acceptable."

TD: "then you have to define what is a vegetative state. That's one of the problems in this case. With the judge listening to different sides, listening to the activists in the euthanasia movement, doctors that are activists in the euthanasia movement, decided on his own, one person, decided she was in a vegatative state when others refuted that. So that is a question that needs to be answered."

BH: (overtalks to gently correct Tom) "They refuted or disputed it?"

TD: "They disputed it."

BH: "Right, good."

1. Can we define Tom Delay as living in a vegetative state?
or would that be an insult to vegetables?

2. Hume and Delay go 'toe-to-toe'?
Did they make out, or what?

7. That's exactly what I was wondering "htuttle" ...
That's a formula (Hume + Delay) for a foaming at the mouth, Right Wing Radical *love festival*! Let's go for total debauchery and invite Hannity, Scarborough, Geraldo, Nancy Grace, Rush Limbaugh, Michael Savage?

Can we say orgy for the insane?

Where's the challenge in bring two like-minded RW nut case together?

It will be a freeper waltz.

9. doubtful...more like "lips-to-ass"
Brit Hume has been on his knees for so long, I doubt he remembers what his toes look like.

10. I first heard about that about 1 1/2 months ago
I think it was Rush. I had no idea what he was talking about until two weeks ago when the Schiavo thing erupted (I knew next to nothing about the whole thing)

The Crystal Cathedral's Robert H. Schuller was on one show this week referring to the "Hemlock Society"'s wish to see Terri dead.

11. If this kind of thing continues
some day soon we will see right wing media whores and right wing whores just flat out grab and embrace each other and start ramming their tongues down each other's throats on TV.

Wait for it.....

12. Enjoy the pendulum swing
The pendulum swing to the right of political choice will be, in historical terms, a very short one. Even a dumb weight will rebound from an unyielding wall and find its proper center.
