DeLay can't seem to remember--or even read--what he wrote in his own book

This story is just coming out all over the blogosphere--we're talking Ryeland on DKos, Kos, Crooks and Liars, Carpetbagger Report, and Shakespeare's Sister. Yes, we're looking at another incredible episode of The Tom DeLay Comedy Hour!

It appears that our hero, The Bug Exterminator himself, Tom DeLay, had decided to appear on Chris Matthews Hardball to promote his new book, No Retreat, No Surrender. In that lovely conversation with Matthews, a small detail comes up about how DeLay wrote that former GOP representative Dick Armey was "drunk with ambition." DeLay corrects Matthews in saying Armey was blinded by ambition. So let's go to YouTube to witness this political tit-for-tat:



I just have to laugh at how The Bug Exterminator himself, got caught not even knowing what he wrote in his own book. And when Chris Matthews even showed DeLay the passage written in the pages of his own book, DeLay couldn't read it because he didn't have his glasses with him. Is there a difference between the two cliches "drunk with ambition," and "blinded by ambition?" I don't know, and I really don't care. But this whole farce of DeLay still claiming that he wrote, or meant, that Armey was "blinded by ambition," rather than was printed on the very pages of his own book really shows a sense of hypocrisy in DeLay--he still refuses to admit when he is wrong about anything! Even to something as simple as a cliche in his own book--a really bad cliche at that! And when Matthews shows the actual passage in his book, DeLay claims he still can't read the passage, and admit the mistake, because he doesn't have his glasses with him.

Un-frickin-believable!
