My Take
Whatever you make of his politics, Tom DeLay was a genuinely consequential operator. Rising from a Texas state seat to House Majority Leader, he understood party discipline as a craft, and the nickname 'The Hammer' was earned, not given. I find his arc more interesting than most careers: a man who lived at the center of federal power, then reinvented himself as a blogger and entrepreneur, speaking as a private citizen instead of a whip. He carried both the effectiveness and the controversy of an era in American politics. Love him or not, you cannot tell that period's story without him.
