Some things are just so obvious they don't even bear saying.

Delay finds friendly audience with NRA
Associated Press
April 17, 2005 | HOUSTON -- House Majority Leader Tom DeLay, under fire for alleged ethics violations, accused liberal Democrats and the national media of giving him a hard time in a keynote speech at the National Rifle Association's annual convention Saturday evening.
DeLay only briefly mentioned the ethics accusations, telling members of the gun-rights group that he appreciated their support.
"When a man is in trouble or in a good fight, you want to have your friends around, preferably armed. So I feel really good," the Republican from nearby Sugar Land said.
About 2,550 NRA members paid $75 to hear DeLay's speech and dine on salad with goat cheese and sirloin steak with peppercorn cognac sauce. Many wore stickers that read: "I'm for the NRA and Tom DeLay."
