The Commander Strikes Back

In response to a New York Times report that congressman Tom DeLay's political action committee paid DeLay's wife and daughter a sinecure of $500,000, the magnificent Commander of the Faithful boldly struck back.

"My wife and daughter have any right, just like any other American, to be employed and be compensated for their employment," he said.

Yes, every unskilled worker in America has the ability to earn great sums of money solely through luck, pluck, and hard work.

Horatio Alger lives. At least in the DeLay household.

There is no majesty, nor might save in DeLay.
