Desperate for Supporters, DeLay Turns to Stephen Colbert

And apparently no one there owns an Ipod!

 

It's no joke. It really is on Delay's website. I peeked!

Congratulations, Tom. You have just been owned by Stephen Colbert.

 

I hope Stephen Colbert doesn't turn into another Dick Morris. Every time I see Morris on FoxNews, I want to puke.

 

Or has Colbert's comic genius owned himself? The fact that his satire is LOVED by conversatives and dare I say rallies them is something right out of O. Henry or The Twilight Zone.

 

I was hoping Colbert would capitalize and invite DeLay on the show.

 

I think the show is on a two week break. Still, if Delay thinks Colbert is sincere, having him on the show would be comedy gold.

 

Hell, he's doing all the House districts, anyway. Why not DeLay's, while he's still there? I can't believe how many Congresspersons have let themselves get skewered on his show. It's a riot!



Keep D&D Civil.

 

Has there ever been this kind of gaff from a politician? It goes beyond hilarious that staffers would not have gotten any wind of Colbert's role playing comedy, or that they haven't at least google'd his show before posting this on their site. It really shatters the image of the cold calculating moral-less but inherently shrewd political machine.

 

Hey, there was the Democratic Congressman caught splashing in a DC fountain with a stripper years ago, wasn't there? Not as terrible as what DeLay did, but more entertaining, lol! Besides, from where I sit, DeLay's aura of invincibility has been shattered for a long time.



Keep D&D Civil.

 

True.

Yeah but I wasn't talking about his aura of invincibility being shattered - that was more a case of his cold calculation catching up with him, IMO - similar to what's happening with Rove. But this just debunks the aura of shrewdness. Someone can be smart but unethical - this shows a serious lack of 'smarts.'

 

Either that or panic driven desperation, clutching at anything and everything. In this case he grabbed ahold of an anchor that will only pull him further down.

 

Right now, DeLay is like the poor, pathetic, junior officer in Master and Commander, driven to jump over the side gripping a cannonball, out of pure desperation.

I love it! No one deserves to look the fool more than DeLay.



Keep D&D Civil.

 

Infallability is a mistake all criminals do. Even if Lay is gone, he isn't taking anyone down with him.

A lot of high ranking Republican officials have stepped down over the past 5 years, yet most are seen as isolated incidents. Maybe they aren't smart, but they are a part of something bigger.

 

I can't believe I forgot that segment! It never ceases to amaze me how r****ded some of the representatives can sound, though I imagine the editing plays into that. Still, he must do it for the good of America.
