* clemons wants to offer DeLay a job (link)

* "MR. McCLELLAN: ... we always learn from experience. That is something this White House has always done." (link)

* "In Iraq, the deaths of nine U.S. troops were announced on Monday making it the deadliest day of the year for the United States. 13 U.S. troops have already died this month, nearly half the number who died in all of March." (link)
april is the cruellest month

* emptywheel: "The point is, though, our foreign policy is so captive to the influence industry that we seem unable to assess our national interest and develop a workable plan from that. Bush's foreign policy seems designed to invest in a few key alliances (England, Israel, Saudi Arabia, Italy, Poland, Australia) and sell the rest to the highest bidder."

* KagroX on DeLay: "And how pathetic a commentary on the House Ethics Committee is this, by the way? Three "admonishments" in the past, and no action at all for a year and a half on a case that's caused the Majority Leader of the House to resign from Congress and sent his staff to prison."

* who will get DeLay's House Appropriations Committee seat?

* reddhedd: "I’ve been wracking my brain trying to come up with motivation for DeLay to just walk away from his beloved power and money machine — and the only puzzle piece that seems to fit is some sort of concern for his family. If DeLay’s wife and daughter were in the crosshairs, who wouldn’t he be willing to sell out to save them? Himself? Other members of Congress and the KStreet gang?"
i wrote the book on christine delay. unfortunately noone seems to have noticed the real story
