All this time, we’ve thought Tom “The Hammer” DeLay was a vicious partisan. Well, turns out he might just be vicious. As CNN reports, DeLay’s new book attacks even his conservative peers, and “[o]nly DeLay’s wife and daughter escape unscathed.” Gingrich is vain and “an ineffective speaker of the House.” Armey is “so blinded by ambition as to be useless to the cause.”
