Tom DeLay, a National Joke?

The Dallas Morning News this morning has a story about how U.S. House Majority Leader Tom DeLay (R-Sugar Land) is mentioned in an episode of the television series Law and Order: Criminal Intent. In the show, police search for a killer of a judge and his family. "Maybe we should put out an APB for somebody in a Tom DeLay T-shirt," one of the cops says.

Last week Jay Leno on the Tonight Show also took a shot at DeLay.

Leno: "Wow. George Lukas made $58 million today with Star Wars. Nobody in this country makes that kind of money in an afternoon—except Tom Delay."
