Disgraced Ex-Congressman Tom Delay Talks About Disgraced Senator Larry Craig
By: Logan Murphy on Thursday, August 30th, 2007 at 6:08 PM - PDT
Former Republican Congressman and poster child for government corruption Tom Delay appeared on Hardball today to talk with Chris Matthews about the Larry Craig sex scandal.
I knew this was going to be bad when Matthews introduced him as Mr. Leader. Matthews has a strange fascination with Delay and allows him an extraordinary amount of time to rehash every scandal to involve a Democrat in the past twenty years while denying the stench of hypocrisy that emanates from the Republican Party. Delay’s basic argument is that Republicans deal with their bad apples while the Democrats rally behind theirs and re-elect them. Try not to laugh too loud or throw anything breakable…tear it up in the comments…
Why Matthews and MSNBC continues to let garbage like Tom Delay darken their network is beyond me. On the other hand, if you’re looking for an expert on corruption, scandals and disgraced members of Congress, Tom Delay is your Huckleberry. What’s next, Mark Foley hosting an episode of To Catch A Predator?

Is is possible for you to have any response to any subject that does not include the name Clinton? You sound obsessed. He hasn't been president for 7 years...let it go.

LET IT GO???? lol how funny.
He's campaigning with/for his wife, who KNOWS she has to drag him with her in public appearances because she won't draw voters on her own/without him.
LEAVE him alone? lol
Why....some want him to be our next 'first laddie'. LOL LOL LOL
Nope, he won't be left alone while his wife tells us how THEY will make a great team.
<puke>
Some/many American's are NOT interested in having a repeat of the corruption his administration brought....a repeat of the embarrassment he brought upon the highest office in the land.
NO WAY. And YOU stop trying to CENSOR what others post here. YOU don't own this board nor are you in charge of telling people what they can or can't post.

"NO WAY. And YOU stop trying to CENSOR what others post here. YOU don't own this board nor are you in charge of telling people what they can or can't post.
Such arrogance."
First of all I was not addressing you Linda. As you can see by the smilies, this was good natured ribbing, at least on my part. You wouldn't know a joke if it hit you between the eyes. Classic's response also appeared light-hearted--hope so anyway. At least he has a sense of humor. Don't take it out on me because you can't comprehend a simple post which contained no orders to anybody and no claims of authority by me. You seem to be way over the edge yelling about censorship. I am not censoring anyone, you hysterical, humorless windbag.
"LEAVE him alone? lol"
Never said those words. Your anger and bile have you imagining things.

CC, you're confused again. lol
Just for clarity...you were NOT joking around to what I respond to.

And Ann Responds to the liberals hissy fit:
Cruising While Republican
by Ann Coulter (more by this author)
Posted 09/05/2007 ET
Updated 09/05/2007 ET
If you've just returned from your Labor Day vacation and are scanning the headlines from last week's newspapers -- don't panic! America is not threatened by a category 5 hurricane named "Larry Craig."
Despite the 9/11-level coverage, Larry Craig is merely accused of "cruising while Republican." There is nothing liberals love more than gay-baiting, which they disguise as an attack on "hypocrisy."
Chris Matthews opened his "Hardball" program on Aug. 28 by saying Larry Craig had been "exposed as both a sexual deviant and a world-class hypocrite."
Normally, using the word "deviant" in reference to any form of sodomy would be a linguistic crime worse than calling someone a "nappy headed ho." Luckily, Craig is a Republican.
As a backup precaution, Matthews has worked to ensure that there is virtually no audience for "Hardball." I shudder to think of the damage such a remark might have done if uttered about a non-Republican on a TV show with actual viewers.
The New York Times ran 15 articles on Craig's guilty plea to "disorderly conduct" in a bathroom.
The Washington Post ran 20 articles on Craig.
MSNBC covered it like it was the first moon landing -- Three small taps for a man, one giant leap for public gay sex!
In other news last week, two Egyptian engineering students, Ahmed Abdellatif Sherif Mohamed and Youssef Samir Megahed, were indicted in Tampa on charges of carrying pipe bombs across states lines. They were caught with the bombs in their car near a Navy base.
But back to the real news of the week: CNN's Dana Bash reported that the Larry Craig story was "everywhere and it is not going to let up."
If liberals were any happier, they'd be gay.
Just as liberals were reaching a fever-pitch of pretend shock and dismay at Larry Craig, it was announced that Craig was resigning. And there went MSNBC's fall program schedule.
Indignant that Craig had short-circuited their gleeful gay-baiting, liberals quickly switched to a new set of talking points. In the blink of an eye, they went from calling Craig a "deviant" to attacking Republicans for not insisting that Craig stay.
Liberals said the only reason Republicans were not blanketing the airwaves defending Craig -- maybe running him for president -- was because of Republican "homophobia."
After howling with rage all week about gay Republicans, to turn around and call Republicans homophobes on Friday was nothing if not audacious.
But last Friday -- or, for short, "the day the two bomb-carrying Egyptian students were indicted and the mainstream media was too busy jeering at Larry Craig to notice" -- The New York Times editorialized:
"Underlying the (Republicans') hurry to disown the senator, of course, is the party's brutal agenda of trumpeting the gay-marriage issue. To the extent Sen. Craig, a stalwart in the family values caucus, might morph into a blatant hypocrite before the voters' eyes, he reflects on the party's record in demonizing homosexuality. The rush to cast him out betrays the party's intolerance, which is on display for the public in all of its ugliness."
Liberals don't even know what they mean by "hypocrite" anymore. It's just a word they throw out in a moment of womanly pique, like "extremist" -- or, come to think of it, "gay." How is Craig a "hypocrite," much less a "blatant hypocrite"?
Assuming the worst about Craig, the Senate has not held a vote on outlawing homosexual impulses. It voted on gay marriage. Craig not only opposes gay marriage, he's in a heterosexual marriage with kids. Talk about walking the walk! Did Craig propose marriage to the undercover cop? If not, I'm not seeing the "hypocrisy."
And why is it "homophobic" for Senate Republicans to look askance at sex in public bathrooms? Is the Times claiming that sodomy in public bathrooms is the essence of being gay? I thought gays just wanted to get married to one another and settle down in the suburbs so they could visit each other in the hospital.
Liberals have no idea what they think about homosexuality, which is why their arguments are completely contradictory. They gay-bait Republicans with abandon -- and then turn around and complain about homophobia.
They call Larry Craig a "deviant" based on accusations that he attempted to solicit sex in a public bathroom -- and then ferociously attack efforts to prevent people from having sex in public bathrooms.
They say people are born gay -- and then they say it's the celibacy requirement that turns Catholic priests gay.
They tell us gays want nothing more than to get married -- and then say it's homophobic to oppose homosexual sex in public bathrooms.
Unlike liberals, the "family values caucus" that the Times loathes has only one position on homosexuality: Whatever your impulses are, don't engage in homosexual sex. In fact, don't have any sex at all unless it is between a husband and wife.
The Idaho Statesman spent eight months investigating a rumor that Craig was gay. They interviewed 300 people, going back to his college days. They walked around Union Station in Washington, D.C., with a picture of Craig, asking people if they had seen him loitering around the men's bathrooms.
And they produced nothing.
All they had was the original anonymous charge of sodomy in a bathroom at Union Station that started the eight-month investigation in the first place -- and his plea to "disorderly conduct" after an ambiguous encounter in a bathroom in Minneapolis. Even his enemies said they had never seen any inappropriate conduct by Craig.
If the charges against Craig are true -- and that is certainly in doubt -- he's a sinner (and barely that, according to The Idaho Statesman), but he is among the least hypocritical people in America.

"Just for clarity...you were NOT joking around to what I respond to."
To paraphrase you,Linda--Do not tell me what I mean or don't mean. Just because you cannot interpret what you read, don't whine to me. The posts were not mean-spirited as shown by Classic's response and my response to him. Facetious is not a word in your vocabulary, apparently. You are so intent on slamming people and pasting Ann Coulter's evil thoughts, you cannot pick up the meaning of the posts.

And coincouch has credibility. Had to change names just to try and save face. And yes, Klinton does have to come in the mix. Most of our problems right now were caused by those two sluts. No need to allow them to screw it up even more.

LOL....well sure....we all recognized that as soon as she told 'waco' how much she respected and agreed with HIS posts.

"While the democratic party complains about everything THIS President does to protect our Nation": "What would a Democrat president have done at that point?"
"Apparently, the answer is: Sit back and wait for the next terrorist attack."

Not that it is any of your business, Stone, but I changed my name at the request of my partner. I have said or done nothing for which I feel the need to save face.

Sure, I'll talk credibility too. There is Stone who stole someone else's user name from here and then was so dumb he posted his same message on two different forums at the same time. Then there is Lindak who got banned from another OAC board last night by conservatives when she tried to teach 'liberals' the error of their ways.
Are YOU a Bunghole?
