Majority Leader Dick Armey’s portrait is filled with symbols of his career and his roots in the rural United States. He rests his hand on a copy of his book Armey’s Axioms. The desk holds a photograph of his wife, a Bible, and an elephant. Behind Armey are his father’s spurs, which inspired one of his book’s axioms, “No man can ever lose his daddy’s spurs.”
