DeLAY'S POSSE, HO'S VOICE SUPPORT
500-Strong Entourage March On Capitol
Five hundred supporters who identified themselves as "the posse and ho's" of Rep. Tom DeLay (R-Texas) marched on Washington today to voice their support for the embattled House Majority Leader.
The bling-bedecked entourage, who claim they have traveled with Rep. DeLay on all of the overseas trips that are at the core of the Texas congressman's current ethical woes, marched on the Capitol to send the message that they were standing by their leader in spite of the controversy.
At a time when Rep. DeLay appears to be receiving flagging support from key players in the administration, especially President George W. Bush, such a strong vote of confidence from the bloated entourage known as "The D-Unit" could be crucial in turning the tide in the congressman's favor.
Issuing a challenge to Mr. DeLay's foes in the congress and the media, a prominent member of the D-Unit who identified himself only as "Xpensez" warned the congressman's critics to call off their ethics probes or "I'll have yo ass seein' out one eye."
The demonstration reached an emotional highpoint with the arrival of Rep. DeLay himself, who came cruising up to the Capitol in a fully loaded Rip Tide Blue 2005 Cadillac Escalade.
"A man should not be judged by the enemies he has," a defiant Rep. DeLay told his adoring followers. "A man should be judged by the posse and ho's he keeps, and my posse and ho's are second to none."
Elsewhere, seismologists who have been monitoring the Mt. St. Helens volcano for the last six months changed locations today, repositioning themselves near New York Yankees owner George Steinbrenner.
