As I'm sure you can tell, I posted the passage here as well because it belongs in the Delay thread, as opposed to taking the McKinney thread further off topic, where it first was posted.

It keeps the adrenaline cooking for sure. Has anyone ever met the Pass Man? I wonder what the mythical one looks like?

Originally Posted By DouglasDubh <Will the GOP stalwarts finally back down and concede the point if delay is convicted?> Of course. The reason we are defending Rep Delay is because we've seen the evidence against him, and aren't too impressed. We could be wrong, but I doubt it. If you'll recall, nobody leapt to the defense of Rep Cunningham like they did to the defense of Rep Delay; that's because the evidence against Rep Cunningham was solid. The bigger question will be if those on the left will finally back down and concede the point if delay is found innocent, or if the charges are dropped. I won't be holding my breath.

Delay actually fought democrats with a no holds barred style that pushed the limits but never broke any laws. If he was a democrat he would be their favorite guy.

So bottom line is, leave the frickin public arena when you should and don't hold on the curtains on the way out as Bill did.
