The GOP leadership is so full of hypocrites – you get these folks claiming to be so “Christian” and full of wholesome morals, and of course they’re the first ones to do the nastiest stuff imagineable. Reed, Delay, Frist, Ney and so on. What a bunch of crap hawkers.
I still find it fascinating that Delay, in the midst of the whole Terry Schiavo circus, somehow thought nobody would find out that he pulled the plug on his own dad. So typical for Republican leaders these days to be full of crap… 
[quote]DeLay had just been re-elected to a third term in Congress in 1988 when his father, Charles DeLay, was badly injured in the crash of a backyard tram he and his brother had built. As DeLay’s vital organs began to fail, the family chose not to connect him to a dialysis machine or take other measures to prolong his life, according to the Times, which cited court documents, medical records and interviews with family members.
“There was no point to even really talking about it,” Maxine DeLay, the congressman’s 81-year-old widowed mother, told the Times. “Tom knew, we all knew, his father wouldn’t have wanted to live that way.”
DeLay helped push through Congress a federal law allowing the parents of Terri Schiavo to go to federal court in an effort, so far unsuccessful, to have their brain-damaged daughter’s feeding tube reinserted after state courts allowed it to be removed. The Texas Republican has also criticized Schiavo’s husband and the courts for allowing what he called “an act of barbarism” against Schiavo, who doctors say is in a persistent vegetative state.
Doctors advised that he would “basically be a vegetable,” said the congressman’s aunt, JoAnne DeLay, who suffered a shattered elbow and broken bones in the crash.
Like Schiavo, DeLay had no living will but had reportedly expressed to others his wish not to be kept alive by artificial means.
“Extraordinary measures to prolong life were not initiated,” according to his medical report, which cited “agreement with the family’s wishes.” [/quote]
Of course, Delay, who also professes to hate trial lawyers, took full advantage of the accident to file suit against some companies and made out well from the followup litigation. 
Maybe the second biggest. Given the relative success of the biggest “I’m an idiot but so was everyone else” defense last year though no wonder lesser chief executives and miscreants are flocking to it like flies to excrement.
