| Description | DeLay rails on Dean; Republican strategist calls McCain 'nut-job'
10:32 PM CDT on Friday, June 24, 2005

WASHINGTON – Continuing a summer of political discontent, Republican leaders had harsh words for the Democrats on Friday, and a few took swings at some of their own.
Speaking before a group of college-age Republicans, House Majority Leader Tom DeLay decried recent attacks by prominent Democrats as "jaw-dropping and unprecedented in my lifetime."
Speaking to the same group a few hours later, party strategist Grover Norquist lambasted three Republicans who broke party ranks over the issue of judicial filibusters. He referred to them as "the two girls from Maine and the nut-job from Arizona" – Sens. Susan Collins, Olympia Snowe and John McCain.
The Democratic National Committee responded Friday by accusing older Republicans of "passing the torch of corruption" to their college recruits. "It is a bad sign that these young political activists are looking up to these disgraced leaders," Grant Woodward, president of College Democrats, said in a written statement.
Mr. DeLay, R-Sugar Land, had been relatively quiet in recent months while dealing with ethics questions related to his relationship with Washington lobbyist Jack Abramoff. Mr. Abramoff is a former chairman of the College Republican National Committee, the group Mr. DeLay addressed Friday. |
