Head GOP Nutcase Calls GOP Senator McCain Nutjob

LINK

Speaking before a group of college-aged Republicans, House Majority Leader Tom DeLay decried recent attacks by prominent Democrats as "jaw-dropping and unprecedented in my lifetime."

Speaking to the same group a few hours later, party strategist Grover Norquist lambasted three Republicans who broke party ranks over the issue of judicial filibusters. He referred to them as "the two girls from Maine and the nut-job from Arizona" - Sens. Susan Collins, Olympia Snowe and John McCain.

The Democratic National Committee responded Friday by accusing older Republicans of "passing the torch of corruption" to their college recruits. "It is a bad sign that these young political activists are looking up to these disgraced leaders," Grant Woodward, president of College Democrats, said in a written statement.
