Listening to "Hardball" in the background, as he catches up with his news and blogging, Monk hears Tom DeLay pushing his new blog. So, for anyone missing his gilded, enlightened voice on the issues of the day, you can get your fill at TomDeLay.com. DeLay admitted in his interview that he is not a writer, saying that he has the ideas and lets other write for him. Yeah, right.

Personally, I prefer him in the blogosphere than in Congress.

DeLay's Smile

When DeLay was booked on the Texas charges, he wore his Congressional I.D. pin and flashed a broad smile designed to thwart Democrats who had hoped to make wide use of an image of a glowering DeLay. "I said a little prayer before I actually did the fingerprint thing, and the picture," he said. "My prayer was basically: 'Let people see Christ through me. And let me smile.' Now, when they took the shot, from my side, I thought it was fakiest smile I'd ever given. But through the camera, it was glowing. I mean, it had the right impact. Poor old left couldn't use it at all."

-- Jason Zengerle for The New Republic

It is enough for me that Mr. DeLay had to go through that fingerprint and mugshot thing, not to mention having to give up his seat in Congress, heh. But I have to admire the man's pluck and drive. We have been following this man's story, and it seems worthwhile to get down what could be seen as his political obituary, though calling it that could just give DeLay the opportunity to later boast that reports of his death are wildly exaggerated, which may be true. An angle that some take on this story is that this also could be the end of that hardball, corrupt era for which the Hammer was so well suited, but that also may be too optimistic.
