Oh, that's rich. Tom Delay says he'll file an ethics complaint against Cynthia McKinney. I'm not wild about McKinney's actions during and since this incident, but geez, Delay
has got some nerve.
Soon-to-retire Rep. Tom DeLay (R.-Tex.) said today he would file an ethics complaint against Rep. Cynthia McKinney (D.-Ga.) for striking a Capitol Police officer should no other House member do so first.
DeLay's comments came during a wide-ranging interview at his Capitol Hill office with reporters, including HUMAN EVENTS Editor Terry Jeffrey.
"If nobody in this House files an ethics charge, I am," DeLay said in response to a question about McKinney. "Her behavior is outrageous. And it's not the only time.
This is such crap spin. The Republican media is trying to brush Delay with this holier than thou crap
The subject of McKinney came up after DeLay recounted a fond memory he had of a Capitol Police officer killed in the line of duty. When asked about his best and worst days as a lawmaker, he said his best day was the GOP's sweep in 1994.
Yeah, the subject came up when Delay decided to use this incident to his advantage so he invited his right wing media shill in to weave up a tale.
The worst day, he recalled, was July 24, 1998, when Capitol Police Detective John Gibson was shot to death by Russell Weston Jr. in DeLay's office. Fellow officer Jacob "J.J." Chestnut was also killed that day protecting the congressman's staff from the gunman.
The episode prompted DeLay to erect a tribute to Gibson on his office wall. He told reporters that a plaque he keeps in his office with the words "This Could Be the Day" serves as a reminder of Gibson, who had discussed its meaning with DeLay only two days before he was killed.
This is only going to work so long, but it won't stop the birds from singin', Tom. You're going down.
