Watch Yourself

House Majority Leader Tom DeLay on Thursday blamed Terri Schiavo's death on what he contended was a failed legal system and he raised the possibility of trying to impeach some of the federal judges in the case.

"The time will come for the men responsible for this to answer for their behavior," said DeLay, R-Texas.

Almost reminiscent of another pushy, arrogant Republican who once threatened then-President Bill Clinton.

Mr. Clinton better watch out if he comes down here. He’d better have a bodyguard.

The streak of nastiness is apparent.
