Goodbye Delay
Lessons Learned
Live by the sword, die by the sword, or something. Tom Delay, one of my least favorite people in the GOP has resigned. Delay was a wickedly strong leader, and my time on Capitol Hill led me to believe that he ruled more out of fear than real respect. Stories also abound about lobbyists headed up to meeting with him and he or his staff pulling out a little book and looking up how much money they'd given to him or his causes. The lesson here is that if your Senior press guy is engaged to your deputy press person, and both know all your secrets, for the love of God don't let him break the engagement!
Also, any bets on how long it will be before Delay is indicted by the feds?
