Wilson, Minton, Perry and SeligerFormer U.S. Rep. Charlie Wilson, D-Lufkin, talking about the U.S. majority leader's troubles in the Houston Chronicle: "If you've seen a chicken in the barnyard get a peck on his head so a little blood is showing, then the other chickens all rush in and peck him to death, that is the danger for Tom DeLay right now. He's got a little blood on his head, and sometimes that is enough to get you killed." Roy Minton -- House Speaker Tom Craddick's attorney -- quoted in The Dallas Morning News on conversations between Craddick and the Texans for a Republican Majority PAC before the 2002 elections: "You show me a politician who says, 'No, I don't think I'll go to a meeting where there'll be a lot of people who are effective getting votes and contributing money,' and I'll show you a dead one." Gov. Rick Perry, whose campaign sent cameras to catch U.S. Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison on the stage with Hillary Clinton, asked whether he's also got a crew chasing Comptroller Carole Keeton Strayhorn: "She's pretty well capable of making news on her own without us helping her." Sen. Kel Seliger, R-Amarillo, after being interrupted for the umpteenth time during the traditional hazing on his first bill: "I've already yielded more than a cheerleader at a drive-in."
