Earlier this week, embattled House Majority Leader Tom DeLay launched a salvo against Supreme Court Justice Anthony Kennedy and other so-called 'activist judges.' As I've mentioned before, 'activist judges' is a perjorative used by conservatives against judges who insist that legislators respect the constitutions.
Most of it was pretty run-of-the-mill stuff that I normally wouldn't dignify with its own entry. But one comment caught my eye. Of Justice Kennedy, Rep. DeLay said, "And not only that, but he said in session that he does his own research on the Internet? That is just incredibly outrageous."
He does research? On the Internet?
OH THE HUMANITY!
I don't think The Simpsons could spoof DeLay any better since he's already become such a cariciature of himself.
Then again, if I were under siege and facing serious allegations of sleaze and influence peddling, I suppose I'd be grasping at any straws I could too.
Perhaps DeLay objects so much because the Internet was invented by Democrat Al Gore.
