What did Delay know and when did he know it?
http://www.talkingpointsmemo.com/archives/010085.php

"Former House Majority Leader Tom Delay was known for--indeed prided himself and built his power upon--his encyclopedic knowledge of the House GOP caucus: members' likes and dislikes, their personal and political strengths and weaknesses, their pressure points.

Delay was Majority Leader until February 2006. So when the emails between Rep. Mark Foley (R-FL) and a congressional page first came to the attention of the House leadership last fall, Delay was still majority leader. (Ironically, Delay's successor as majority leader, Rep. John Boehner (R-OH), came to Congress as a result of a sex-with-a-minor scandal involving the then-incumbent Buz Lukens, whom Boehner defeated in the GOP primary in 1990.) So what did Delay know, and when?
<snip>
The peccadilloes of congressmen is the black market currency on the Hill. Gossip is golden. And Tom Delay was the leading broker. So what did he know and when?"

Interesting question.

2. I'm wondering when someone...
will try to shift blame to Delay. The ratfuckers are fucking with each other.

3. Excellent question. If Alexander told Boehner, he told DeLay.
And Foley started making big contributions to the NRCC while DeLay was still majority leader. DeLay had to have known.
