Attention Tom DeLay : You are NOT the Federal Government

I pray for the day when this idiot has not an ounce of power or influence over any part of the federal government. From a Washington Post article …
House Majority Leader Tom “The Hammer” DeLay is a tobacco-chewing, meat-eating Texas Republican who likes to drink red wine and smoke cigars. We’re told that during a recent dinner with about 30 political supporters at a downtown Washington steak house, DeLay walked out on his guests before dessert when the manager told him he could eat and drink but not puff… … after the main course, DeLay went into “hammer” mode, trying to compel manager Tom Khandker to flout federal regulations and lift the ban. We hear the conversation went something like this:
Khandker: “I’m sorry, sir, but this is a federal building, and it’s against the law of the federal government.”
DeLay: “I am the federal government.”
But Khandker stood his ground, and DeLay and several cigar-chomping compatriots left for the smoke-filled Caucus Room before the cheesecake course.
Here’s to you, Tom Khandker. Way to stand tough in the face of a power-mad, misguided old man. Begone with you, Tom DeLay.
