Laff

This morning Atrios' link was broken, but you can catch the exchange of letters between Tom DeLay and Dick Wolf at YatPundit.

Short version: Tom DeLay is a wanker.

Slightly less shorter version: The Hammer, pouting about a Law & Order episode featuring a less-than-fawning reference to his Hammerness, fired off a pouty letter to Dick Wolf (L&O Producer) correction--he fired off a letter to NBC President of Entertainment Jeff Zucker. No word on how loudly Tom stomped around his office while dictating said letter, but my own guess is "somewhere between quite loud and obscenely loud."

Here's Wolf's reply (Wolf apparently took it upon himself to respond):

Every week, approximately 100 million people see an episode of the branded 'Law & Order' series. Up until today, it was my impression that all of our viewers understood that these shows are works of fiction as is stated in each episode.

But I do congratulate Congressman DeLay for switching the spotlight from his own problems to an episode of a TV show.
