and bilked Indian tribes. Sure did seem mighty familiar.

1. "Ripped from the headlines" you know Dick wolf loves to mock Delay.

[Nickster]

2. Yeah, I got that feeling too. Seemed so eerily familiar. Hmmmm.

[Armstead]

3. Did you see "Crossing Jordan" after that?

Also "Ripped from the headlines."

A wildfire in Massachusetts. An incompetent state Emergency Management official with no experience who screws up the response.

And of course, both followed the West Wing.

4. Half Abramahof, half Plame-gate. I enjoyed it.

5. Wonder if you can fill me in? I missed part of it.

How did the victim's sexy outfit and brief scene in the hotel room in the beginning tie in to the story; did it tie into her being a secret service agent?

[Nickster]

6. They didn't really play that part out too well. It just seems like she was

having a good old fashioned affair, but they never really tied it up. She told everyone she was meeting a female informant, but then we saw her with a guy, and she was taking off and putting on her wedding ring.

[quiet.american]

8. Ah -- thanks for the fill-in. Agree, that didn't tie in very well. n/t

[kaygore]

7. I usually watch Desperate Housewives

But it was a repeat and I love Chris Noth, so I watched the program for the first time. It was very good! I like Noth so much better in the main role than I do that other guy that also stars.

Since Desperate Housewives was a repeat, I was especially glad that Law and Order was so hard hitting.

9. how did it end?

[Swede]

10. Lobbyist and Congressman both arrested and handcuffed.

The lobbyist was working for both sides in the gambling casino battle,the Congressman too.
