9. The ultra conservatives weren't angry before. They are now.
They were lied to about the numbers.

They voted no and Delay didn't respect it. He hammered them for 3 hours.

Now the nails are coming up.

2. Gee,
ya think?

If Drudge can connect a RW congressperson to a bribe in support of that slimeriver of a bill, that would be cause for celebration.

7. Knocked off the top by
"Missile Defense Plans Call for Early Summer Deployment"

That's red letter breaking news? Something happening half a year from now?

5. He is a scumbag, but he scoops mainstream media regularly.
I wonder who got the bribes? Frist?

Also of note on (yuck) Druge's site:

DEAN CAMPAIGN TACTICS SPENDTHRIFT: Often provided valet parking at its events; spent heavily to bus outsiders to speeches in Iowa to fill out the crowds, and began pumping money into commercials seven months before the first vote was cast... Developing...

Makes me wonder if someone inside the campaign has slipped Drudge Dean's internal financial reports.

6. Ooooooh, I was wondering if the righties were pissed off enough
to go after Tom Delay.

They voted no because of the costs and it turns out the costs were so much more.

Yet they let Delay talk them out of it. Oh, vengeance.
