Tom DeLay (was) in the blogosphere (and ran away)
Tom DeLay has started a blog, and from what I can tell, it's the real thing. At least, that's what US News and World Report was telling us. Maybe they got scammed and maybe I'm buying it too, but the first post is so lame and the blog roll so full of the Usual Suspects, I'm guessing it is real. Well, not including the "Tom DeLay" responses in the comments, which tend toward the obscene. But some of the comments are pretty funny. I couldn't help laugh and wince at the same time reading this one:
Everyone already assumes bloggers are unemployed losers... thanks for reinforcing that stereotype...As another commenter says, the layout is remarkably dull and uninspired--just another hint that someone as clueless as DeLay and his minions are actually involved in this.

Hmm, even as I just wrote this the above posting has vanished. Prank, or retreat? A Think Progess commenter seems to find the registration info that it's real. Or was. Bye, Tom...again.
UPDATE: A Think Progress poster saved the original blog and comments before it was taken down after all of 75 minutes on the internets. Click here.
