WASHINGTON (Dec. 26) - Former U.S. Republican leader Tom DeLay, known as "The Hammer" for his tough tactics on Capitol Hill, hasn't nailed the art of typing but that's not keeping him from a new career as a blogger.

The former U.S. House of Representatives leader's entry into the blogosphere brought an onslaught of nasty responses during a trial run on Sunday, December 10.

"I guess liberals are the only ones around on Sunday afternoons and they inundated us with vile, nasty comments. We pulled it down and cleaned it up," DeLay told Reuters.

In an interview, he said he writes out his submissions for www.tomdelay.com in long hand and leaves it to aides to do the online work. "I can't type, which is a disadvantage," DeLay said. "I come up with ideas."

Oh, for the love of Mike.

Mr. DeLay has fingers on his hands. I've seen him use them (hands and fingers).

Therefore, he can certainly type.

He might not be fast, but he physically can type.

I don't type my own FR comments.

Thor, the Mighty Net Avenger, Lib Nemesis and Personal Desire of Ann Coulter does.

Someone took the time out of their day to write a story revealing that a politician has his secretary type for him. OH THE HORROR!!!!

This has only been going on since there was anything to type with.

The hit-pieces never end.

[PJ-Comix]

It only takes a couple of weeks of about an hour per day of practice to learn how to type.

During my senior year in high school (1949), the administration added a one-semester typing course to the College Prep track. Prior to that, typing was taught only to "business" (i.e., secretarial) students. Touch typing was the most valuable thing I learned in high school. I even worked one summer as a typist.

"Touch typing was the most valuable thing I learned in high school."

I've often said that, too.

[Extremely Extreme Extremist]

Well the MSM has succeeded in putting Tom's head on a pike so now they're just kicking dirt in his face too.

It didn't hurt that I was the only guy in the class either! ;-)
