It was crystal clear at that moment, if not well before, what kind of operation DeLay was running. But DeLay's power only grew from there, and that action, far from tempering DeLay's behavior, expanded into a massive, unabashed racket called the K Street Project which has become such an entrenched part of Washington that is has its own website for all to see. .."
