Howard Dean's Democracy for America is in the process of making Tom DeLay a new kind of American idol. The organization hatched plans to put up billboards in DeLay's own Texas backyard, and has received more than 20,000 suggested slogans for the project. They've since whittled the list down to the top 30; you can cast your vote here. A few of our faves:

Tom Delay: Hammering the Constitution one civil right at a time

Tom DeLay: All His Ethics Aren't in Texas

How am I doing? (Photo of DeLay) Call (DeLay's DC office number)

And in case you want to get a head start on hammering that Capitol Hill switchboard: (202) 225-5951
