DeLay resigned on MONDAY NIGHT... it's a great start for the week

What else awaits us this week? A Rove indictment? More Abramoff fall-out? More Republican resignations....?

It's just soooooo delicious! What other revelations do you think will be made this week?

Kick if you want more, More MORE!

:woohoo:

3. I'm hoping for a Trifecta: DeLay, Rove and Cheney!

One can dream, can't he :evilgrin:

2. I always thought a dead roach was a horrible sight. But in this case...

4. Dead roaches are all in a day's work for DeLay.

I hope his family is comforted that he has a fallback career.

5. Ms. Gale Norton is going down too

From November of 2005

Some DeLay staff e-mails are emerging, making for interesting reading. Associated Press:

Rep. Tom DeLay's staff tried to help lobbyist Jack Abramoff win access to Interior Secretary Gale Norton, an effort that succeeded after Abramoff's Indian tribe clients began funneling a quarter-million dollars to an environmental group founded by Norton.

Although I can't find it online now, in mid-March, the Arizona Republic did a piece on Norton's ties to this dodgy gaming PAC. Anyone -- say, a journalist -- with Lexis-Nexis handy might want to go dig it up. (However, see also this, this, and this for starters.) Back to the AP piece:

Within months, Abramoff clients donated heavily to the Norton-founded group and the lobbyist and one of the tribes he represented won face-to-face time with the secretary during a Sept. 24, 2001, dinner sponsored by the group she had founded.

6. That is an interesting point. I wonder if any lurks in the near future?

It does seem odd that this happened on a Monday giving the media basically all week to roll around in this.

7. a better government without DeLay!

I love that bumper sticker.
