"Your Winnings, Sir"

Buried deep in a story in the Washington Post about Texas Republican's use of federal Homeland Security resources to track down Democratic state legislators who had fled Texas to stall an unconventional redistricting bill is a quote from Jonathan Grella, an aide to US House Speaker Tom De Lay (R-Texas). De Lay is said to be the prime mover behind the unusual redistricting bill.

Here is what Grella said: "[W]e certainly are disappointed that they've resorted to flat-out lying to hold on to power."

No Republican would ever stoop to such depths — certainly none who hail from Texas.
