One of these days he [Scott McClellan] and I are going to be rocking on chairs in Texas, talking about the good old days and his time as the Press Secretary. And I can assure you I will feel the same way then that I feel now, that I can say to Scott, job well done.

"This whole thing about not kicking someone when they are down is B.S. Not only do you kick him --you kick him until he passes out--then beat him over the head with a baseball bat--then roll him up in an old rug--and throw him off a cliff into the pound surf below!!!!!"
--Michael Scanlon, a former aide to Rep. Tom DeLay and business partner of Jack Abramoff, who recently entered a guilty plea to bribery charges. The above quote is from a book about the Clinton impeachment entitled, "The Breach" by Peter Baker. The quote is cited in the Wall Street Journal, "Behind Unraveling of DeLay's Team, a Jilted Fiancee" by Brody Mullins, 3-31-06. According the the article, Scanlon and Tony Rudy encouraged DeLay to "lead the charge" for impeachment.
