For you hardcore DeLay Rule obsessives out there whose thirst isn’t slaked even by TPM, here’s a new interactive and all-bells-and-whistle-ified database of how everyone voted, or didn’t vote. It was put together in coordination with the folks at The Daily DeLay.
And here’s a fun story from the Albany Times-Union on the quest of a few hardy TPM readers trying to find out how their congressman, John Sweeney, came down on the DeLay Rule. Sweeney spokesman Demetrios Karoutsos told the Times-Union that the “vast majority” of callers were satisfied with Sweeney’s status as a letter-writer. Those who weren’t, he said, “obviously had other motives.”
It’s like I always say. Those Upstate Republicans, they play rough.
