Tom DeLay Burns Over ‘Law and Order’
House Majority Leader Tom DeLay is mad about an episode of "Law & Order: Criminal Intent" he says "slurred" him, according to a Fox News report.
In a letter to NBC executive Jeff Zucker, DeLay complains about a comment made when two of the show's detectives were investigating a right-wing group's connection to the murder of a judge:
"Looks like the same shooters. CSU found the slug in a post, matched it to the one that killed Judge Barton. Maybe we should put out an APB [all-points bulletin] for somebody in a Tom DeLay T-Shirt," Detective Eames (played by Kathryn Erbe) said in the episode en led "False-Hearted Judges."
DeLay wrote, "This manipulation of my name and trivialization of the sensitive issue of judicial security represents a reckless disregard for the suffering initiated by recent tragedies and a great disservice to public discourse."
"Law & Order" creator/executive producer Wolf responded, "Up until today, it was my impression that all of our viewers understood that these shows are works of fiction . . . but I do congratulate Congressman DeLay for switching the spotlight from his own problems to an episode of a TV show."
"I think it was a gratuitous comment," commented Bill Simon, a former California gubernatorial candidate and vice chairman of Paxson Communications, adding that the comment was a "typical example of Hollywood sliding out of the base pan."
