Question about Tom Delay
First I'm glad that it looks like he's going down.

Ok, This is Kkkarl Rove's doing right?

So, Tom has got to know where the bodies are buried so to speak, what kind of deal has he got worked out?

Leaving quietly to be with his family, then up it pops in a high paying job, working behind the scenes.

1. I am not sure about anything
Not sure Delay is really going down and not sure if it is Rove behind it.

K Street is not happy with the rabid right in the party, it could be their doing.

I just don't know.

2. Can you say lobbyist? He'll make more
money that way with no thought to anyone judging him on his ethics. Now that is scary. Unless he goes out in an orange or striped jumpsuit.

3. Who knows?
It is not fait accompli that The Merciless Ming of The New Millenium, Rove, is behind this. On the contrary, it could be any of a large number of people. That said, you can bet your bottom dollar that this is coming from within the repuke umbrella. This has all the makings of just enough inside skinny being linked, every day, to poison his water just that little more.

I honestly doubt that the dems have this intel in this detail. As far as the media is concerned and his wailings about them: if they get the information handed to them and then get independent confirmations from ELEC forms, what are they supposed to do, shitcan it?

He wants a free pass. He is deluded. He helped write the rule book.

4. all good responses.
Now, if he last out the week will he survive? I'm going by the american attention span.

Maybe if we have a scandal a day, the weight of them will bring him down.

5. I'm still far from convinced.
DeLay's crimes are nothing compared to what Bush, Cheney, Rice, Powell, Rumsfeld, Wolfowitz, etc. are up to.

6. I don't know
It looks to me like it's not so much an inside job, but more that they're distancing themselves from him. Rove marching orders either way.
