Delay is a star…sort of
Tom Delay is the star of a documentary which follows Delay through his redistricting of Texas for republican advantage. I’m not sure if the film is fair and balanced but I bet it is accurate.

Dixie Chicks - deserve mainstream progressive support
The Dixie Chicks had fame and fortune and talent in 2003. They had the nerve to stand up against the president and the Bubba wing of the Republican Party at a time when most people were not speaking out. As progressives, whether we like their music or not, we should embrace them. They spoke truth to power and they were right. I wouldn’t be surprised if Karl Rove was behind the boycott of the Dixie Chicks albums and music.

The Democratic Party clearly does not need a scandal to divert any attention away from the Republicans. The honorable thing for Congressman Jefferson to do would be to resign.
