SUGAR LAND, Texas, March 31 /U.S. Newswire/ -- House Majority Leader Tom DeLay (R-Texas) today released the following statement mourning the passing of Terri Schiavo:
"Mrs. Schiavo's death is a moral poverty and a legal tragedy. This loss happened because our legal system did not protect the people who need protection most, and that will change. The time will come for the men responsible for this to answer for their behavior, but not today. Today we grieve, we pray, and we hope to God this fate never befalls another. Our thoughts and prayers are with the Schindlers and with Terri Schiavo's friends in this time of deep sorrow."

In a last, desperate attempt to divert attention away from his crimes, which if properly investigated and adjudicated will result in loss of office, if not liberty, Tom DeLay is calling for the murder of Michael Schiavo, James Wittamore, George Greer and others.
This is a most profound outrage. And yet . . . .
Somehow, I can’t muster proper indignation against Tom DeLay, even when he publicly solicits the murder of people who don’t agree with him. The man is so mired in filth and madness that all I can feel, no matter what he says or does, is a deep sadness.
