...relinquishment of the majority leader's role, Texas tea leaf readers saw more trouble ahead. A new Republican challenger, already dubbed the "dragonslayer" by one Houston political columnist, launched his campaign for the party's nomination in DeLay's hometown of Sugarland.

Most had responded either to a mass-circulated text message that called on "Aussies" to reclaim their beaches from "wogs" and "Lebs," or to enthusiastic publicizing of the event by tabloid media. Among the less offensive slogans scrawled on bare chests or emblazoned on T shirts were wog-free zone and ethnic cleansing unit.
