HOUSTON (AP) - Former House Majority Leader Tom DeLay, given the nickname "the hammer" during his political career, can add one more title to his resume: reluctant movie star. The Texas Republican was the focus of a new documentary that premiered Friday night in Houston examining the scandals that drove him from office.
The film, titled "The Big Buy: How Tom DeLay Stole Congress," features interviews with Democratic and Republican lawmakers from Texas, as well as liberal stalwarts such as Molly Ivins and Jim Hightower.
DeLay, who plans to resign from the House on June 9, did not talk with the filmmakers.
