Tom DeLay, raging hypocrite.

I'll wait here.

I will concede that many people reasonably doubt that Terri Schiavo would have wanted to have her feeding tube pulled in these circumstances; will you concede that Tom DeLay appears not to have been motivated by these considerations? I criticized DeLay, not everyone supporting the parents.
(And I appreciate your parallel construction, but even if I felt otherwise, what would I be searching the web for? Evidence of what would have happened if the facts had been different all along?)
