DeLay doctors physician of the year title

SRY SRY SRY DEAR 1-NODE DEFENDERS BUT ITS TOM DELAY (New thread due to old one overflowing)

http://abcnews.go.com/WNT/Investigation/story?id=643826

To see what the award process was all about, Mueller sent in his $1,250 contribution and ABC News paid for his travel to Washington for the scheduled events March 14-15, which included a tax-reform workshop as well as appearances by House Majority Leader Tom DeLay, R-Texas, and President Bush.

Mueller soon found he was not the only winner. There were hundreds of Physicians of the Year present, many of whom found the criteria for being selected equally as opaque.

"You know, nobody knows, so don't feel bad about it," Mueller said one attendee told him. "I think that more than likely it's to get us Republicans together under the pretense that maybe you will work a little harder to keep Republicans in office."

Thanks Stinger! More dubious

Thanks Stinger! More dubious fund raising from the master. The amazing part is that these supposed intelligent doctors not only pay the money, but don't realize that Delay probably doesn't care about any of their issues. He only wants the money

I, the believer of the " produce your own rope to hang

yourself with" political theory, believe Tom Delay has just produced a few hundred feet of rope that's been reported in the last two days. Hang away!

Surprise

Guess what? I got one of these awards too. I called to find out how to get my award. I was told about the cost. I can't even believe that they had my name on the list. It is sponsored by the RNCC to show support for the Republican agenda. These are vanity awards. I would have been undercover but thought the better of it.

Wow, congratulations

Physician of the Year! Right here at Democrats.com. We are so proud of you Cleo.

Congratulations, Cleo!

Yes, we are very proud of you. You're daughter must be so happy for you!
She's a really neat young lady.

Hey cleo, I got this muscle t

Hey cleo, I got this muscle tightness in my neck and it hurts when I do this (visualize me rolling my head around my shoulders). Any idea what it is?

Just kidding... Actually the pain is in my ass and it's been from a bunch of freepers (visualize me with a pooper scooper and plastic bag).

BTW

Shouldn't you healing somebody or doing rounds instead posting here. Get on the ball here Doctor.

Stinger this is

one of your best finds ever. If you only post one of these a day we will all be rich in knowledge that we otherwise would not have found on our own.

BTW I laughed my head off as I read it out loud in my office.

Wonder if Imus

Wonder if Imus or some other host will present it as words of the messiah memorating the pope. GET YOUR CONSCIENCE CLEAN, DOCTORS! BECOME ANNUAL DOC BY 1250$.

I never cease to be amazed

at how small and vain my race of humans really are. The damn thing could have come from Publishers Clearing House. For only $3.42 a day you can have your very own award lauding you as the "Physician of the Year" for this year. All you have to do is pay for your own transportation and attend a workshop. Yes, it is true, for just $1,250 you can join a few thousand of your peers from all over the nation, who will also be attending to accept their own Physician of the Year award.

Maybe it sounds more like a vacation condo sales pitch hehehehehe

Conflicting Accounts of Tom DeLay
At the same time that FOX seems to be doing its darndest to show that Republicans are standing strong behind the "unbowed" Tom DeLay, there are also reports that key Republicans are distancing themselves from him, albeit on different issues.

In an AP article titled "House GOP Backs DeLay Amid Ethics Scandals" on Yahoo and given the more sanitary title of "DeLay Unbowed by Allegations" on FOXNews.com, Rep. Roy Blunt, described as "third-ranking among GOP leaders," said, "I don't see any wavering of the support for the leader. I think a lot of members think he's taking arrows for all of us."

Following in Blunt's footsteps, a video report from Major Garrett on FOX's homepage also does its best to portray DeLay as a victim. The video is called "DeLay's Drama - The media are after House Majority Leader DeLay again for alleged ethical lapses."

However, buried in the middle of a FOX-written article that mirrors another Major Garrett video (on the same page) almost word for word is this: "Top Republicans told FOX News that the GOP is still smarting from what they perceive as massive public backlash against Republican-drafted legislation that ordered brain-damaged woman Terri Schiavo's case to be reviewed by a federal court. Sources said Frist and other top Republicans are annoyed at House Majority Leader Tom Delay of Texas for criticizing federal judges who ruled against intervening in Schiavo's case."

Just last Saturday, FOX's sister newspaper, New York Post, ran an interview with Vice President Dick Cheney in which he also expressed disapproval of DeLay. "Cheney said he backed efforts to help save Terri Schiavo's life, but strongly disagreed with House Majority Leader Tom DeLay (R-Texas), who wants retribution against judges who blocked restoration of her feeding tube. 'I don't think that's appropriate . . . There's a reason why judges get lifetime appointments,' he said."

Comment: It strikes me as very significant that Republicans - and FOX News - are backing off from DeLay on the one issue that polls indicate has clearly hurt the party yet remain steadfast behind him (so far) on the numerous issues of questions of ethics. Aren't they the ones who trotted themselves out as the party of ethics? Where is Bill Bennett these days, anyway? Waiting until there's a blow job before he'll speak up?

Even more interesting to me is the fact that FOX has not yet (that I know of) reported on this discrepancy. The same reporter, Major Garrett, covered both stories so it's not like one hand wouldn't know what the other was doing. Considering the non-stop air time FOX News gave last summer to the "did he or didn't he" issue of John Kerry's 30-year old war account, you'd think FOX News would be "all Tom DeLay, all the time." We know it would if it was a Democrat involved.

Stinger, thanks for your comp

Stinger, thanks for your compliance in the one new topic per day rule. Starting tomorrow, as a panacea to your helpless feelings, create one forum topic and add as many related or unrelated news posts there. Does this sound like a good comprimise? You can do this every day if you'd like. You could name it something with pizazz like Stinger's Daily Pearls of Wisdom or All the News That's Fit for Stinger or whatever...

Thanks again.

It was also a photo op

When I called about it, it was also billed as a photo opportunity. I know that you would all have been waiting in line to buy these pictures.
