I have to admit I haven't been keeping up with the whole Tom DeLay thing. You'd think I would, since he and his wife were good friends of my mom's family when she was growing up. I remember when I was a kid she used to talk about them a lot and how much fun she had with them, how nice they were, how she used to babysit for them, etc. I always thought of that every time I would drive by his office. I never actually met them, though. Still, funny how I've been hearing this name all my life without bothering to pay attention to it in the news.
