[Renew Deal]

over casino money for Focus on the Family. Anyone following this?

This must be it: http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A30274-2005Mar12.html

1. can you say more please?

[Renew Deal]

2. He didn't say much

He did say that it would seriously taint Delay and take down people around him.

4. Before The Election, There Was A GOP Poster Who Intimated That They

were gunning for Delay. By 'they', I mean the Paleo-Cons.

True GOP'ers are really disgusted.

I personally do think some are going down including Delay.

3. I hope he is right...

But Bobo is so often wrong that I am not planning to hold my breath.

7. Yeah I remember an article or two about a showdown IN the Rep. party

should W win.

Maybe this the beginning of it. Even Newt didn't trust Delay-I read that a couple of weeks ago.

5. I just read another reference to this - but it attibuted it to Hardball

wonder if it was the same item - or if two different on air folks are talking about this.

About time for House scandals (ala 1992-3; and before that abscam) to break. Let it drag out long enough to do more than simply oust DeLay from his official leadership position (leaving him in congress and able to twist arm and carry on...) let it take a bunch of them down and set off a feeding frenzy ala the one that surrounded Rostenkowski and others (started with check kiting in the house bank and then went in many other directions til the repub promise of "higher ethics" paved the way for the house takeover.)

8. David Brooks was on Matthews Sunday show.

11. ah - so refering to the same item

darn. If it was a rumour floating around enough to pick up two references I might be hopeful.

12. See post #10

6. It's the Abramson and scanlon deal

Cochouta Indians and "Speaking Rock" Casino. All these guys worked for delay. It touches Ralph Reed and Grover Norquist as well.

10. Check it out!!

[Straight Shooter]

13. Grover "get the poor outta my face" Norquist?

Oh, pleeeeeeze God, please, please, pleeeeeeeze!"

[Toucano]

9. Please, oh please, oh please.

Let it include Bob Ney -R OH 18th District!

[ohio_liberal]

17. I'll ditto that

n/t

[NewJeffCT]

14. I'll believe it when it happens

I'm not hopeful, as big as this scandal is.

[gratuitous]

16. I'm with you

I've heard too much over the last four years about some corrupt politician "going down," but with cockroach-like invincibility, vermin like Tom Delay keep their offices and continue poisoning the body politic.

15. There was a NOW show on this several months ago.

Focus on the Family is James Dobson's group. It should be up in the archives...transcript still up at least.
