Well now, this is interesting.

With all the hoopla about Rod Blagojevich of Illinois, we've plumb forgotten about the ongoing Abramoff scandal. Let's remember that the Governor of Illinois is little more than a neighborhood thug compared to the systematic Republican "culture of corruption" of Jack Abramoff, Tom DeLay, and their many associates. There's still a steady trickle of news stories about new pleas and indictments related to that snake pit of influence peddling and other malfeasance.

It's been years since Tom Delay got indicted Texas - the Lone Star State's campaign laws aren't easy to break, either - and one hardly ever hears news about that case. Has it gone to trial? Surely I would have heard the verdict had there been one?

Dunno 'bout that, but Anti-Corruption Republican in Texas noticed that DeLay's wife Christine had a subpoenaserved on her last week to be deposed at Federal Court in Houston. What might that be about?

............

It's a civil case, Corwin Teltschik vs. Williams & Jensen PLLC, et. al. . Williams & Jensen are of interest as a key player in the Abramoff money laundering schemes. And Teltschik was treasurer of ARMPAC - Tom Delay's Americans for a Republican Majority PAC - one of those organizations designed to perpetuate that ephemeral "Permanent Republican Majority" that they were all about.

4. Bush pardons!
Nothing shocks me more than seeing Delay treated as a statesman on M$Greedia.
