Tom DeLay: Media Attacks on Palin Show Hypocrisy of the Left

ST. PAUL, Minn. - On Thursday, NewsBusters had a quick chat with former House Majority Leader Tom DeLay about the media's coverage of Republican Vice Presidential nominee Sarah Palin.

After praising Palin for being the "answer for what we've been begging for for over two years," he then spoke both frankly and optimistically about how the press have been attacking the Alaska governor since John McCain first introduced her as his running mate (video embedded right):

I think it's just absolutely horrible. But thank God they're doing it, because I understand, for instance, the media has pushed 37 million to watch her last night...I just hope that they keep it up. Just keep doing it, and showing the hypocrisy of the left. 

Delicious.
