DeLay Staffers Abandon Their New Boss
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

While newly minted lame-duck Congresswoman Shelley Sekula-Gibbs was happily explaining her seven-week action plan to our colleague Peter Carlson, a group of staffers in her office (who all previously worked for ex-Rep. Tom DeLay) resigned en masse Tuesday morning. The walkout occurred during Sekula-Gibbs's crowded open house, so it wasn't clear until later in the day that five DeLay loyalists in the Washington office and two in Texas's 22nd District office had abruptly jumped ship, according to chief of staff Lisa Dimond.

What gives? Roll Call reported yesterday that the unnamed staffers felt Sekula-Gibbs, who won a special election to serve the balance of "The Hammer's" term but lost the regular election to represent the district, was "mean" and pitched a fit when President Bush didn't drop by her party. Dimond denied the allegations, saying her longtime boss never expected the president and has "excellent people skills." The ex-staffers did not respond to requests for comment.

1. Has she met Katherine Harris?

sounds like they have a lot in common and would probably hit it off big.

4. I'd like to meet this woman...

if these people could put up with the likes of an asshole like DeLay---she must be a real piece of work. Either that, or they have no interest in working for a lame duck and they're going on to greener pastures. :rofl:

Edited:

I recently read that Shelly is on her third husband, the first two died, so add black widow to her resume as well.
