"Looks like the same shooters. CSU found the slug in a post, matched it to the one that killed Judge Barton. Maybe we should put out an APB [all-points bulletin] for somebody in a Tom DeLay T-Shirt," Detective Eames (played by Kathryn Erbe) said in the episode entitled "False-Hearted Judges."

DeLay wrote, "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."

"Law & Order" creator/executive producer Dick Wolf responded, "Up until today, it was my impression that all of our viewers understood that these shows are works of fiction ... but I do congratulate Congressman DeLay for switching the spotlight from his own problems to an episode of a TV show."

"I think it was a gratuitous comment," commented Bill Simon, a former California gubernatorial candidate and vice chairman of Paxson Communications, adding that the comment was a "typical example of Hollywood sliding out of the base pan."
