Saddam and DeLay
Saddam Hussein and Tom DeLay both attacked the judges in their court appearances this week. DeLay attacked Ronnie Earle, the prosecuting attorney, accusing him of being on a witch hunt and going after political enemies. Saddam doesn't recognize the authority of the government and accuses the government of attacking him as a political enemy. Tom doesn't seem to recognize the authority of any government official who isn't part of his political party, the Baaths, oh excuse me, the Republicans. Both men are attacking the authority of their accusers. Tom DeLay is certainly not the evil person that Saddam is, I think, but the similarities in their tactics here are interesting and amusing.
