Tom DeLay, despicable if all-powerful Speaker of the House, wants delegates to the Republican convention in NYC next summer to eschew the city's hotels and restaurants and instead be his captives, er, sorry, guests on a luxury cruise liner a former staffer of his represents that will be moored in the Hudson River. So much for his promises to such prominent New York Republicans as Governor George Pataki and Mayor Michael Bloomberg (admittedly a Democrat for most of his life until realizing he could never get the Democratic nomination to run for Mayor of New York) that the convention would bring untold millions to New York's economy as well as showcase the Republican Party as the new party of all the American people and not just the fat rich white southern conservative christian straight men who have been its only concern for the past 30 years. Interesting, innit, that even when DeLay *TRIES* to fake everyone out and pretend to be anything other than a southern racist bastard, he just can't do it. The truth will out.
