...political graveyard. On Dec. 21 the House ethics committee released a 22-page report based on evidence assembled by James Cole, its special investigator. Most of its findings concerned whether the nationally broadcast college course that Gingrich taught, which was financed by tax-deductible contributions to nonprofit organizations, had partisan purposes.

That night, anxious to show he's not a recluse, he introduced Rudy Giuliani at a Friends of Israel banquet. DeLay even made an uncharacteristic round of the cable shows, hinting darkly on CNN that he would soon produce "very good evidence" that his nemesis, Travis County district attorney...
