DeLay Urges GOP to Blame Dems Over Ethics

"I hope he survives, and I hope he will stay in there and do his job," said Sen. Trent Lott (news, bio, voting record), R-Miss.

"The power of prayer is the only thing that will sustain you" in the circumstance DeLay is in, Lott added, and he spoke disparagingly of any Republicans who fail to stand by the Texan.

"That's the problem, you know, Republicans eat their own. ... Democrats stand by their own until hell freezes over," said Lott, who was ousted as Senate majority leader two years ago after making controversial race-based comments at a birthday party for the late Strom Thurmond.

DeLay was admonished three times last year by the House ethics committee. Recent articles have disclosed that his wife and daughter were paid approximately $500,000 in recent years by political organizations under his control, and have raised questions about the financing of three overseas trips he took.

1. I just hope people everywhere are READING this stuff...
... the outlandish nonsense that these talibornagains are spouting. Maybe it will prompt a few people, at least, to wake up to just how looney-toons things have gotten.

He's trying to offer support?

Yeah, what-the-f**k-ever.

NOTE: Censorship of the term 'what-the-fuck-ever' is my own.
