Former DeLay Communications Director John Feehery submitted an opinion piece entitled "Hammered" that ran in the Washington Post’s Sunday Outlook section describing his experience working in DeLay’s office (Feehery's spin in the piece on his time in DeLay’s office is “I didn’t do anything wrong, it was all Buckham, Rudy, and Scanlon running amuck). He reveals insight into the win-at-all-cost mentality of how DeLay ran his office, his politics, and the pursuit of greater things via, well, lying.

A must read story in the Houston Chronicle connecting the dots on how the DeLay machine worked: utilizing former staff, hired gun Jack Abramoff, and the now defunct lobbying firm the Alexander Strategy Group. By following contributions made to both ARMPAC and TRMPAC from Questerra, a firm trying to win government contracts , the trail of cash shows how much it cost to have one on one’s with DeLay (via golf games that could cost up to $25,000) and where the cash was given, specifically via different PAC’s (which is what Travis County Prosecutor Ronnie Earle is looking into).

Two days after Abramoff was sentenced, Tony Ruby, a former top DeLay aide, has agreed to plead guilty to fraud charges. It was widely believed that Rudy was “Staffer A” in the Abramoff plea agreement .
