In an article in today's New York Times, former Metroplex Congressman Dick Armey is very critical of the lobbying operation on K St. headed up by former DeLay staffer Ed Buckham.  Buckham  has been implicated in the Abramoff scandal.  Here is what Armey has to say:  "Tom DeLay sent Buckham downtown to set up shop and start a branch office on K Street.  The whole idea was 'What's in it for us?'  That's what I thought at the time and I've seen nothing in the way they've conducted themselves since then to dissuade me from that point of view."

In the same article, Armey "invoked Charles Dickens, likening Mr. DeLay to Fagan and Mr. Buckham to the Artful Dodger in "Oliver Twist."

Anyone want to take bets on Tom DeLay's political survival past this year?
