Tom Delay and Ralph Reed in some Native American casino scandal?
Anyone know anything about this? Money in exchange for eliminating one casino to benefit another. It was on ATC on NPR earlier, but I haven't heard or found anything about it since. Apparently there is to be a BIA hearing about this on Wednesday.

4. I really meant in the media. Delay is Majority leader in the House
I haven't seen or heard a word about this in the mainstream media. Remember the big hooha about Gore fund raising with some Buddhists?

7. It has been reported in local and state media
here in Alabama (because of the link with the state chapter of the Christian Coalition, a very sick little clique indeed).

8. Is Ralph Reed a big deal down there?
Up north we see his face occasionally, and know he is some kind of RW "Christian" touting "family values". But that is about all.
