Roll Call obtained a set of talking points issued by House GOP Conference Vice Chairman Jack Kingston (Ga.). In response to a Law and Order episode featuring a police officer who declared “Maybe we should put out an APB for somebody in a Tom DeLay T-shirt,” the House GOP aimed at House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) and Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton (D-N.Y.).
Kingston, Akers reveals, "has been out on the TV circuit blaring outrage. Kingston instructed members who serve on the House GOP message team to “repeat that this was a PERSONAL swipe at Tom DeLay during sweeps week.” In a memo to his message folks, Kingston gave four talking points, telling Members to stay on message that “L&O” finished “dead last” in sweeps week, is biased and liberal, and, in what he called 'outrageous and over-the-top,' associated DeLay with a 'racist, anti-semitic judge killer.'"
