It’s worth noticing when former House Majority Leader Tom DeLay uses the same words as former President Bill Clinton, who decried the “politics of personal destruction” hours after being impeached by the U.S. House. And using these Clintonian words isn’t the first time for DeLay, a former bug exterminator known as “The Hammer” for his political tactics.
Perhaps the use is intended to echo a tried-and-true formula for public sympathy. But you have to wonder what DeLay’s fellow Republicans think of the source - and what the general public thinks of someone called “the Hammer” trying to pull it off.
