Ethical Exellence

Captain DeLay talks like a friggin whakko in a recent interview with the Washington Times:

Mr. Dinan: Are you going to pursue impeaching judges?
Mr. DeLay: I'm not going to answer that. I have asked the Judiciary Committee to look at this. They're going to start holding hearings on different issues. They are more capable than me to look at this issue and take responsibility, given the, whatever, the Constitution. (meh, the constitution -- whatever the hell that is)
...
Mr. Hurt: Have you ever crossed the line of ethical behavior in terms of dealing with lobbyists, your use of government authority or with fundraising?
Mr. DeLay: Ever is a very strong word. Let me start out by saying, you can never find anything that I have done for personal gain. Period. What I'm doing is what I believe in, I'm doing it the way I believe in it. Yes, I'm aggressive. I'm passionate about what I believe in, and I'm passionate about winning and accomplishing our agenda.
...
Delay's response to Ethics committees:
Mr. DeLay: First of all, you have to go to present conditions. The Democrats don't want an ethics committee for two reasons. One, they know that all of this is privileged and that the only way I can be cleared is through the ethics committee, so they don't want one.(how fucking clever)
...
Mr. Coombs: At your regular press conference later today, 30 minutes will be devoted to answering questions about your ethics.
DeLay: I'm not going to answer them.
Mr. Coombs: Aren't members of your conference going to be scared of the charges?
Mr. DeLay: No, actually, what's going on is I just came from a conference. What they are doing is, they are solidifying and unifying the Republican conference.
Mr. Coombs:Who is ?they??
Mr. DeLay: The Democrats. This is the Democrats' agenda. They don't have an agenda.(ZAP! Either there is an agenda or there isn't -- you've stopped making sense)

Not good... a la wordsmithery -- backwards argument extraordanaire.
