Tom DeLay's Logic

I know I sometimes criticize the mainstream media for reporting on things that are so trite, they simply are not news anymore.  Now I am going to do the same thing. 

Tom "Molotov" DeLay, the US house majority leader, has said something incredibly stupid.  I ran across a link to this on Dispassionate Liberalism:

Bush Rejects Delay, Prepares Escalated Social Security Push

[...] After the meeting, DeLay lashed out at AARP, the seniors group that has led opposition to the Bush plan. "It's incredibly irresponsible of the AARP to be against a solution that hasn't even been written yet and running ads trying to convince people that personal retirement accounts is like going to Las Vegas and playing the lottery," he told reporters.  [...]

It would seem that if it is true that "It's incredibly irresponsible of the AARP to be against a solution that hasn't even been written yet...", then it also is incredibly irresponsible for the President of the United States of America to be flying around the country -- at taxpayer expense -- to promote a plan that hasn't even been written yet.

Yes, I know, DeLay making a fool of himself is hardly newsworthy.
