DeLay's Big Brassy Ones.... ....un-friggen-believable!
He told reporters that he was eager to appear before the leaders of the House ethics committee to respond to the conduct allegations. But in an interview with The Washington Times, published Thursday, DeLay charged that Democrats had shut down the panel to prevent him from clearing his name. ''The only way I can be cleared is through the ethics committee,'' he said, ''so they don't want one.''

DeLay charged that Democrats actually want the work of the committee thwarted so that they can protect one of their own members, Rep. Jim McDermott of Washington, who is under scrutiny in connection with the illegal leak of a tape recording of a Republican congressman's cellphone conversation.

1. Three words: "Bring It On"
Time for the Dems to call his bluff...request (no: DEMAND) an ethics investigation and force the Repubs on the committee to play their hand.

5. The Talking Points Are Screaming
- Democrats shut down the ethics committee (despite it being in DeLay's control)...and Jim McDermott's a traitor and guilty, too

- Pelosi's kids got all sorts of payoff and perks from mom.

- Reid's kids got all sorts of special land deals thanks to dad.

- ALL Congressman do it (thus corruption shouldn't be tolerated, it should be graded?)

- There's some massive Hillary scandal Democrats are hiding by going after DeLay.

- "Librul Media" is going after DeLay to protect Hillary

- The "Libruls" hate DeLay cause he's a "good xtian man".

- Democrats are trying to get even since DeLay stole...oops...won a Repugnican majority in Texas

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

Clip these points...you'll be hearing them a lot today. Sadly, there's few Democrats who have either the stones or the microphone to shout down these lies. All we have is a public that is tired of all this shit and keeps pressing for answers and the truth. I'm very dubious this exists.
