He was a real trouble maker when he headed the RNC. I wasn't involved in politics at the time - but I remember the media was treating Haley worse than they're now treating DeLay.
Hello ... Media Heat is
Indicator #1 he was doing a great job
(and btw, the real reason DeLay is getting the heat he gets) Haley Barbour was the best RNC head in the past 15 years. Most of the recent ones are forgettable, not convincing spokesmen, and not great political strategists. Haley was and is all of the above.
I agree .. Reagan used to say, "if you haven't made somebody mad today, then you're not doing your job."
So I guess Haley was doing his job.
I always liked him .. but that southern accent will drive the NE liberals wild!! LOL
