Hefley: ‘I was threatened’ Ethics committee’s actions against DeLay

[juliagoolia]

trigger angry response from Republicans
By Alexander Bolton

House ethics committee Chairman Joel Hefley (R-Colo.) said last week that Republican lawmakers have threatened him in the wake of his panel’s recent admonishments of House Majority Leader Tom DeLay (R-Texas).

Asked what response he has received from House Republicans since two ethics committee admonishments were issued in a span of seven days, Hefley said, “I’ve been attacked; I’ve been threatened.”

However, Hefley would not reveal who or how many of his colleagues had threatened him, or what retaliation had been threatened.

6. These Republicans

who are threatened have no one but themselves to blame. If they didn't let the really bad pukes get away with so much crap in the first place, allowing Delay to smack them around with his hammer like a bunch of wimps, that criminal and his ilk wouldn't be so bold with the threats.
