ALERT!: DeLay despises "gritty cop talk"

We just can't get enough of The Hammer, and we know you can't either. But apparently Tom DeLay has had enough of legal dramas. More specifically, NBC's "Law and Order" which recently referenced him in its season finale.

From the E! Online:

During the episode, a police officer stymied for leads jokes to his partner, "Maybe we should put out an APB for somebody in a Tom DeLay T-shirt."

From DeLay:

"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. I can only assume last night's slur was in response to comments I have made in the past about the need for Congress to closely monitor the federal judiciary, as prescribed in our constitutional system of checks and balances," he wrote.

Austinst loves that DeLay is drawing attention to himself once again. Haven't his people told him that every time a story is written about him, it usually includes his laundry list of ethical lapses?
