"I guess liberals are the only ones around on Sun. afternoons' (DeLay)
No typing not a problem for "The Hammer" blogger

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Former U.S. Republican leader
Tom DeLay, known as "The Hammer" for his tough tactics on Capitol Hill, hasn't nailed the art of typing but that's not keeping him from a new career as a blogger.

The former U.S. House of Representatives leader's entry into the blogosphere brought an onslaught of nasty responses during a trial run on Sunday, December 10.

"I guess liberals are the only ones around on Sunday afternoons and they inundated us with vile, nasty comments. We pulled it down and cleaned it up," DeLay told Reuters.

In an interview, he said he writes out his submissions for www.tomdelay.com in long hand and leaves it to aides to do the online work. "I can't type, which is a disadvantage," DeLay said. "I come up with ideas."

3. It's not typing, dumbass
It's a keyboard, not a typewriter.

8. Why is he afraid of anyone that doesn't agree with him?
All posts to his blog by non-members must first be approved by an administrator.

LOL.

Poor Tommy. Afraid of free speech.

Loser.
