3. New Yorker

Apparently, there was an article (at one time) in The New Yorker that reported it. A brief blurb on it can also be found at

Hypocrisy is Tom DeLay's Middle Name, Along with Exterminator and Satan's Main Man
http://www.buzzflash.com/analysis/05/03/ana05006.html

But by May 13, 2001, when the Washington Post did a feature story on the toxic exterminator from Texas, the headline was, "Absolute Truth; Tom DeLay is certain that Christian family values will solve America's problems. But he's uncertain how to face his own family."

The Post article goes on to report:
For all of Tom DeLay's public espousal of Christian values, particularly his deep commitment to family, he privately has nursed a terrible estrangement from his own mother and three siblings. After the 1988 death of his father and the rise of his career in Washington, DeLay cut off contact with all three siblings, and seven years ago he stopped attending DeLay family gatherings. He has not seen or talked to his mother, Maxine, in two years, even though she lives about 10 miles away from Sugar Land; nor did he invite any of them to his daughter's 1999 wedding or even mention his mother in the published wedding announcement.

All through his roomy home are many photographs of his wife, his daughter and his in-laws -- but not a single one of the DeLays. Throughout our conversations, this rift is the only subject that he adamantly will not discuss.

Family values, yeah right.

6. lawdy, lawdy

mebbe they're democrats. that would get you off the Roach man's invite list awful quick, no? ;)

speaking of Roach... when i was campaigning for Morrison i met some people named Roach - their family had apparently married into DeLay's and were brimming with pride about the fact... needless to say, chalked that household's votes up to DeLay... but got a couple of their neighbors to post Morrison yard signs! }(

7. A Roach marrying into the DeLay family

Now wouldn't that be considered inbreeding?

8. Wow. Roaches voting for DeLay?

Sounds like a good example of voting against one's own interests!
