Beyond Damage Control
While a politician's first impulse is to shift into damage control mode after bad news breaks, Tom DeLay's indictment is different, according to a David Corn interview of Republican crisis management expert Eric Dezenhall.

Said Dezenhall: "The first thing he must do is to realize that his objective is to get acquitted, not to look good. He must understand that damage control does not equal damage disappearance. He has to save what is save-able. He might not be able to save everything: his freedom; his political career, and his financial prospects. His life has changed; he has to focus on acquittal."

"Dezenhall also noted that from this day on, DeLay's target audience is the to-be-named-later jury that will hear the criminal case against him."
