...DeLay Faces a Rare Primary Challenge
Besides facing an uphill battle against former Democratic Congressman Nick Lampson, turns out criminal mastermind, bad politics poster child and all around evil guy Tom Delay is facing a serious challenge from his own party.
If you need evidence that 22 years of corruption, wrongdoing, power mongering and generally bad behavior will eventually come home to roost (and, yes, I'm aware of the obvious problem there), here you have it.
But, still, it's a beautiful thing. For a guy who brushed off a complaint about him smoking a cigar in a federal building cafeteria with a acidic, "I am the federal government," and who ruled the Republican house like a corrupt prison warden, it's nice to see him struggling just to get the nomination.
