Tom DeLay Is Dancing As Fast as He Can
It must suck to be Tom DeLay, ex-Hammer. No longer able to threaten to cut off campaign funds from independent-minded fellow Republicans, or the balls of Democrats, he’s reduced to writing emails like this one, which can be found in its entirety at Jake Tapper’s blog at abcnews.com.


"Dear Friend,

"I am writing to you today in an effort to help a good friend of mine, country music singer and GOP supporter Sara Evans. Sara will be competing this year on ABC’s smash hit "Dancing with the Stars" beginning Tuesday, September 12, at 8 pm Eastern/ 7pm Central. Sara has recently launched a new website www.DancingWithSara.com that will connect her fans to exclusive behind the scenes material from the show. Register with this website for free today and then watch Sara compete starting September 12 – and don’t forget that YOUR VOTE HELPS DETERMINE THE WINNER!

"Sara Evans has been a strong supporter of the Republican Party and represents good American values in the media. From singing at the 2004 Republican Convention to appearing with candidates in the last several election cycles, we have always been able to count on Sara for her support of the things we all believe in. Let’s show Sara that same support by watching and voting for her each week to help her win this competition. One of her opponents on the show is ultra liberal talk show host Jerry Springer. We need to send a message to Hollywood and the media that smut has no place on television by supporting good people like Sara Evans.


Do they let you watch “Dancing With the Stars” in jail? Just asking…

And Now They're Going After Poor Christine DeLay
The Houston Chronicle reports today that the FBI is investigating whether Mrs ex Hammer earned thousands of dollars from The Alexander Strategy Group without actually doing any work. The lobbying firm was run by DeLay cronies until they were swamped by the slime of the Abramoff scandal and forced to close, but the FBI apparently isn't finished digging into the Abramoff muck, and the DeLays may have issues.

We're sure there's a logical explanation for everything.
