From PBS’s News Hour, December 2001:
JIM LEHRER: All right. Another big move today, a big story in the Congress this week was the announcement by Dick Armey that he is not going to run for reelection to his seat in Texas. That means he will no longer be the House Majority Leader. How significant is that, David?OTOH, John Hawkins of Right Wing News says: “It’s time for Tom DeLay to go.”
DAVID BROOKS: It's significant because Tom Delay is going to replace him, and that's pretty sure. And it's a great Christmas story because it brings joy to the world.
Democrats love the fact they'll have Tom DeLay to beat up for the next however many years. And Republicans like the fact because although when Tom DeLay's name is mentioned in Washington, you're supposed to hide the women and children because he is such a monster.
He is in fact the best legislator alive on the planet. He delivers vote after vote for the Bush Administration for the Republicans. He holds the Republicans together. He has been a devastatingly effective whip. Not the most attractive guy in the world but incredibly effective, incredibly good at his job.

Okay, who took "4" in the pool?
John Hawkins is wrong. If DeLay goes down permanently, they'll just move on to *Rove* or *Rumsfeld* or *Cheney* or whomever else they can think of. Selling out our clearly-innocent own is a bad, bad move.
