There's a astounding piece on page A3 of the Post today about one of these instances -- only in this case there appears to be more or less conclusive evidence that it was a political hit.
...
DeLay fundraising lawyer is worried that TPJ might end up deep-sixing the boss. DeLay fundraising lawyer contacts DeLay-lackey congressman and asks him to sic the IRS on TPJ. DeLay-lackey congressman does as he's told. And so does the IRS. TPJ gets put [through] the wringer for uncovering information about DeLay's crimes.
After the Scanlon emails and the Ralph Reed nonsense, we can pretty much put the right's Christ cult bullshit to bed. They don't believe this shit, they just use people who do.
How do you say that in Russian? I dunno, maybe they used saltier language. And by "they" I mean the former communists who paid Tom DeLay to support former communists ... against the interests of his own country.
Tom DeLay's Russian connections have finally hit the legal fan, it would appear, reminding us all of the good old days, the days when FOX News repeated talking points from the people who were shooting at our planes during the Kosovo affair.
This has been making the rounds. Appy-polly-loggies if it's already been posted:
... the USW calls on labor unions, the three Democratic national committees (DNC, DSCC, and DCCC) and other progressive organizations to follow suit and contact these consultants immediately. We ask you to call these consultants and ask them why they are under contract with Cuellar. We also ask that we collectively decide to support the decision to protect labor?s values and not hire political opportunists.
Henry Cuellar is an anti-worker, pro-CAFTA, a Democrat In-Name-Only. Cuellar actively campaigned for President Bush and sat on the Republican side of the aisle as Bush delivered his State of the Union address last month.
