Wow, I didn't know DeLay was gay.

I do wish he hadn't tried to shake his booty. Now that image is seared onto my retina, and will probably lead to my waking up screaming at night.

Seems wrong that indicted men who so wrongly treated women in the Mariana Islands can be allowed on television and make a buck. He is morally bankrupt, and clearly confused about his sexuality while so judgemental of others'.

So far you are describing most successful actors and entertainers. Politics is, if nothing else, entertaining.

How many actors and entertainers have been disgraced out of their job, accused of multiple crimes, and should rightly be doing serious prison time?

All that was missing were the white belt and the while patent-leather platform shoes. Rock on, 70s baby!

I don't appreciate a criminal being forced on as a nice guy and okay when he should be in jail. I don't appreciate the Republican logo on the costumes. It just symbolized to me a group that breaks the laws and hurts people freely and then demonstrates that they can protect those that are criminals in their name . It's a sick display of unbridled disrespect to the people of this country and I would never watch a show that is a party to it.

If Tom DeLay gave his own self a proctology exam with a rabid mongoose on live TV I wouldn't give him a second of attention.

During his tenure Republican lawmakers worked fewer days than any in history, even while the economy was rumbling towards collapse, the war was ramping up in Iraq, and we were sliding into record deficits.

His Repubs even took to hiding behind hearing room doors with the lights off to prevent Dems from participating in hearings.

Samba? Neither the dance, the music or the bizarre outfits have anything to do with Brazilian or Argentinean samba. Another reason for latinos to avoid the GOP (as if they needed more).

Didn't Republican Majority Leader Tom Delay "soldier on" to Saipan for Dancing With The Young and Enslaved?
