Delay's Dilemma

We are seeing once again what happens to a public figure who is feared and hated by his enemies.

It is the same thing that happened with Newt Gingrich.

If you wield the reins of power with severity and relentlessness, sooner or later someone's going to try to take you down. If you play dirty, you're going to reap what you sow.

I have no doubt that politics plays a significant (if not exclusive) role in the prosecutor's motivation -- it is Texas, after all, where (as in Massachusetts) politics is a blood sport. And we will learn sooner or later whether or not there was any legitimacy to Ronnie Earle's prosecutorial actions.

But whatever your opinions on Tom Delay, you have to admit -- he is one scary looking dude.
