"Representative Tom DeLay, the House majority leader, on Wednesday angrily dismissed newspaper accounts that focused on payments to his wife and daughter as well as on additional trips taken by him that have come under scrutiny."
Oh, Tom…what were you thinking? Here is a man who should know the power of perception and yet he was blind when it came to seeing how others might see him.
“…said Representative Roy Blunt of Missouri, the No. 3 House Republican.”The things that Tom has been criticized about in one way or another every member of Congress could be criticized about."”
Now there’s an original defense! Since they all do it…it must be OK.
“Representative Dave Weldon, Republican of Florida, and others offered what were described as spirited testimonials to Mr. DeLay's leadership while expressing outrage at what they viewed as concerted media assaults on him.
"There are certain liberal newspapers, including The New York Times and The Washington Post, that are out to get Tom DeLay," Mr. Weldon said. As for Mr. DeLay's daughter, Mr. Weldon said he had personal experience working with her when Mr. DeLay participated in a political event for Mr. Weldon in Orlando. "She really worked for me on that occasion," Mr. Weldon said.””
As opposed to not really working? What are you trying to say Dave?
