Question: Did Money From Indian Casinos
Fund Redistricting Efforts?

Some top Texas Republicans are sitting on pins and needles as they await the outcome of investigations into whether money donated to lobbyists close to Sen. Tom DeLay was used to fund recent redistricting efforts in the state and if those “donations” were laundered in the legislature.

Six Indian tribes saw more than $66 million taken from their collective coffers to be spread as grease to improve their chances of being better heard in Washington. There are claims, however, that knowledge of the removal of their savings, or profits, was not well known by some individuals who should have known that funds were being withdrawn.

MOVE IT AROUND.

1. Oh please, let Tom DeLay spend a big chunk of the rest of his life

behind bars.

3. If he truly believes in God

He'll be spending eternity in Hell.

Prison will seem like a vacation paradise to him.

To The Editor:
President Bush, still and yet again, is attempting to remake the world to his personal specifications. By hook or by crook, he is determined to achieve exemption from the International Criminal Court for any actions by U.S. citizens, military forces, or foreign nationals working for the U.S.

4. It's time for all of this with the tribes to be resolved

There are so many republicans in the thick of it that I'm surprised they can still breathe... Ralph Reed among them.
