[Concerned]

HUMMINGBIRD ASKED HOUSTONCURMUDGEON: "Have you ever met Earle or DeLay, HC? I wish I knew more about both of them and had a personal reference on each."

Unfortunately, I believe my nephew-in-law works for Earle and worships the ground he walks on. Kind of makes you want to throw up, doesn't it? Of course, he's a RAT himself and thinks he wants to run for DA somewhere someday.

I have never so much as seen Earle. DeLay however is my Congressman. I see him at political and charity events in Ft Bend County 4 or 5 times a year and at restaurants a couple of more. I have had a couple of political discussion with him and more with his staff at his Stafford office. He is always the typical, professional politician and we are in no way close enough that I would know anything not published.
