The Hammer Gets the Axe

    I've had it in for Tom DeLay since 1994, when I turned the bug man from Sugar Land's own words against him in a direct mail package I created for Public Citizen.  I had an artist create a landscape of smokestacks and pollution, and quoted DeLay's view that DDT is "not harmful." I alerted fans of Ralph Nader about the forerunner of the K Street Project, a group of businesses, trade associations and PACs he called "Project Relief."
    Now the GOP is relieved of the albatross they used to call The Hammer.  I still maintain the man is dumb as a box of rocks.  If the Republicans are smart they'll decide on a new leadership team and do what Republicans do so well, stage a coronation.  But it will be more fun if they continue to eat their young.
