About this Quote

This quote by Jim Hightower is referring to the general public's viewpoint of former U.S. Representative Tom DeLay. DeLay was a questionable figure in American politics, and was understood for his participation in a number of scandals. Hightower is suggesting that the general public was fed up with DeLay and his corrupt habits, and that it referred public health. This indicates that DeLay's actions were having an unfavorable effect on the general public, and that the general public aspired to see him eliminated from office. Hightower's quote is a reflection of the general public's opinion of DeLay, and the belief that his corruption was a threat to the general public's wellness. It is a pointer that the general public should understand the actions of their elected authorities, which they need to hold them liable for any misbehavior.
