Tom Delay said he was totally against the politics of personal destruction on Hardball today as Mike Barnicle plays dumb and drools over Delay. We'll forget about his arm twisting of his fellow Republicans to vote his way or else, but listen to this Delay rant (6/24/05 when Rove got in hot water) and you tell me if he's a sweet guy.

Is Tom doing a little drinking or having trouble reading his lines?

Delay: Conservatives saw the savag...savagery of 9/11 in the effects and oh..in, in, the at--attacks and prepared for war. Liberals saw the savageerry on 9/11 attacks and wanted to prepare indictments and offer therapeutic understanding for our attackers. That's not slander, that's the truth.
