We're not beyond DeLay yet. He can't stop talking -- and he's talking about CREW, still:
Whether he is shunned by the Republican establishment, as he claims, DeLay has little that's kind to say about his former colleagues. He called Republicans terrible communicators with short memories and said some prefer being in the minority because they don't have to work as hard.
DeLay warned the students that Republicans are not focused on the threat posed by a powerful organization he described as run by the Clintons and including the news media and a network of liberal activist groups.
He singled out Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington, a watchdog group that DeLay said leaked the story about Sen. Larry Craig's bathroom bust to Roll Call newspaper to divert attention from Sen. Hillary Clinton's ties to now-jailed Democratic fundraiser Norman Hsu.
"His conspiracy theories are insane," said Naomi Seligman Steiner, communications director for CREW, which was central in developing a congressional ethics complaint of DeLay. "We absolutely positively did not leak the Craig story."
