"Even left wingers are using my tactics!", he's saying. That article was one of the most convoluted attempts to smear someone (DeLay) I've ever seen. I'm waiting for a story like, "Serial killer born in same hospital as DeLay." “Tail Gunner” Joe McCarthy must be chuckling in the afterlife.

"Guilt by association is a pernicious political weapon". You could have stopped there and been just fine. How many politicians are two degrees away from "gangland" anything ? I suspect that many of the representatives from the cities of Chicago, Miami, and New York would not like to have that looked into. As it relates to this topic though ... as I read it, three murderers killed a man a few months after he sold a casino cruise line to a group of businessmen, one of which was Abramoff, and somehow that is a reflection on DeLay? Frankly, I fail to understand how it is even a reflection on Abramoff, but maybe I am missing something. Frameone … “Guilt by association is a pernicious political weapon”.
