I did not say that the payment was "excessive." It does appear to have been generous, perhaps unusually generous.

I've been solicited by Tom DeLay for funds every year for many years, but given that he's in Texas and I am in VA, I haven't felt any desire to give him any money. Now I am glad that I did not do so.

Nevertheless, I have no bone to pick with Tom DeLay.

And, anything that Moveon.org is for, I am against.

If the amount the msm quoted was for a year's work - perhaps excessive. I don't know if you could pay me any amount to do what they do - but when you spread it over the years and years they earned it, it really isn't an issue. Except when you're throwing every thing at a guy to tear him down. _________________________________________________________

To quote a Texas Democrat asked by the Houston Chonicle for a comment on Tom DeLay:

"If you've seen a chicken in the barnyard get a peck on his head so a little blood is showing, then the other chickens all rush in and peck him to death, that is the danger for Tom DeLay right now," said Charlie Wilson, a former Democratic member of Congress from Lufkin. "He's got a little blood on his head, and sometimes that is enough to get you killed." Source
