The stink of desperation

By Michael J.W. Stickings

Ah, yes, the treason card. Played not by Dick Cheney, a common culprit, but by Tom DeLay, who told the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review that Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi are "getting very, very close to treason".

Such dastardly bullshit.

At The Carpetbagger Report, Steve Benen smashes DeLay's accusation to smithereens.

And at The Horse's Mouth, Greg Sargent puts it in context: "Has anybody else noticed that every day brings palpably more wild-eyed and unhinged attacks from the folks who either are in favor of the war or the folks who are for some reason instinctually opposed to the Dems' aggressive antiwar stance? You can see the attacks growing significantly more deranged by the day -- and sometimes by the hour."

A sure sign of desperation.
