Rightwing Rallies Around Crook Delay, Protestors Expected Thursday's tribute to House Majority Leader Tom DeLay "could turn into a regular carnival," Roll Call reports in Wednesday's editions. Advertisement "When hundreds of conservatives show up at the Capital Hilton to show solidarity with their embattled leader, liberal protesters dressed like carnies will be standing outside the hotel causing all kinds of trouble," pens the paper's Mary Ann Akers. "In fact they even plan to set up a mini carnival." According to Akers, the carnival attendees, "donning skimmer hats and all, are bringing in a 17-foot striker with a big bell at the top and a sign on it that reads: “Drop the Hammer, Smash Corruption.” They’ll also have a wheel of corruption; If you land on “corruption” — well, by golly, you win a free bar of soap."" Goodstein told Akers that the protesters will offer bars of soap to DeLay supporters as they enter so they can “clean up their act and scour their ranks of Tom DeLay.” GOP organizers toll Roll Call the joke is on the protesters. “Austin Powers fears carnies because of their little hands. But it would be worth the price of the admission to see this liberal freak show and their small minds,” one Republican organizer of the dinner tells Akers. “These fly-by-night antics are proof positive as to why conservatives are rallying around Tom DeLay.” * Lie. The rightwing is rallying around Delay because he's corrupted them all with millions in dirty money, and if he gets truly investigated so do they and their whole sleazy game is over.
