Okay, you already know how I feel about Rep William Jefferson (D-La, almost certainly corrupt), and you know that I don’t hold back on expressing these feelings (he’s a son of a bitch). But I don’t hold any illusions as to not pre-judging him; due to the overwhelming and consistent evidence that has been leaked […]
The Hill reports:
In the past year and a half, the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) has reassigned nearly 200 agents to the problem of public corruption, bringing to 600 the total number of agents working on public-integrity cases.

Well this is pretty ironic and funny. Apparently Tom DeLay’s legal defense fund doesn’t quite understand things like sarcasm and spoof. Evidently, they think that he’s a real, serious, conservative anchor, and supports Tom DeLay. ThinkProgress has noticed that DeLay’s legal defense fund website actually features a video from the Colbert Report, in which Colbert […]
Roll Call on Tom DeLay’s legal fees:
Rep. Tom DeLay’s (R-Texas) legal defense fund burned through $312,000 in expenses in the first quarter of the year, paying out fees to four different law firms representing the former House Majority Leader on two different legal fronts.
When combined with the $110,000 DeLay paid out of his campaign committee […]
Apparently, Tom DeLay’s lobbyists think he’s probably guilty (hell, they’d know better than us, right?), and are pissed off about how Tommy’s going to use their bribe money for his legal defense fund. Come to think about it, it makes a lot of sense that DeLay quit after the primary. He was able to gather […]
“He’s going to help the orphans” garbage aside, Muckraked lays out the odds on what Tom Delay will be doing after he retires this spring. I think I’d laugh the hardest if he does the first thing on their list. Got any expectations of your own?
Does Tommy know something the rest of us don’t?

Hardly a talking-point:
“There’s nothing worse than a woman know-it-all“
That was Tom DeLay talking to MSNBC’s Chris Matthews on Monday night, in between commercial breaks during the episode. Little did Tommy know, the cameras were still rolling. Somebody on the MSNBC staff snuck the video out to Huffington Post, and you can watch Tommy’s thoughts on […]
Hammer gets nailed
Blames his fate on biased pols
Takes one to know one?
How better to end this day than by reading some Tom DeLay Haikus? More here.
Or perhaps a look at how much Katherine Harris’ campaign has melted so far? Apparently she’s
The day after Tom DeLay announced that he will be stepping down, two reports came out that both suggest the same thing: Tom DeLay is in legal trouble, heading into a high-profile corruption-related money-laundering case (a felony which can net several years under Texas state law). From the recently-sold large newspaper syndicate Knight Ridder comes […]
AHAHHHAAHAHAH.
“Tom Delay was to me, the epitome of the ruthless opportunist.”
Geraldo is “reporting” on Tom DeLay’s announcement. He just called him the “Dark Lord” of Congress. “And now [dramatic pause], he is… gone” Hahahaha. Wow. I can’t believe this made it into Geraldo at large. Gee, it must be reallllly big news if Geraldo […]
Yesterday, I mused about DeLay’s decision to send a pre-taped video out to news outlets, instead of doing what was expected of him (and earlier reported that he would do); a live press conference:
A videotaped speech will be handed to news outlets tomorrow morning, DeLay’s people are producing it and duplicating it right now. This […]
Ahahahhahaha. Okay. In response to Tom DeLay’s announcement that he will step down from the House of Representatives around late May, and not be seeking re-election, right-wingers have no idea how to respond. The President himself said he believes DeLay is innoncent and will be cleared on all charges. From the comments section of the […]
In 1995, Tom DeLay didn’t think that it was appropriate for accused felons to carry concealed handguns.
Now that he’s an accused felon, he thinks he should be allowed to carry a concealed handgun.
Wow. I like the 1995 Tom DeLay better.
In related news: Tom DeLay will be stepping down in May, not seeking re-election
In a move that may mean Tom DeLay is on shakey legal ground, he has officially announced spread rumors that he is withdrawing from his race for re-election this year. Check this thread for more details as they arise. There will be an official announcement early Tuesday.
