"...DeLay told the crowd that as Republicans helped Americans find jobs and helped the country recover from the September 11 terrorist attacks, Democrats offered the country nothing.
"No ideas. No leadership. No agenda. And, just in the last week, we can now add to that list, no class," DeLay said, a reference to Senate Democratic leader Harry Reid's remark to school children that President Bush was "a loser." ...
The crowd dined on filet mignon and salmon and a dessert of red-white-and-blue frosted cake decorated with candy hammers, a reference to the nickname DeLay earned when he was House majority whip.
...Several protesters shouted outside the hotel, [with] signs reading..."Congress--owned and operated by Tom DeLay.""
Candy hammers. What's next, candy sickles?
Well, like their "comrade Stalin", Repubs say, "no man, no problem".....
