Tom Delay: Source Of All Evil

Yep, it's true, he be de debil.

Donors Underwrite DeLay's Deluxe Lifestyle

WASHINGTON - As Tom DeLay became a king of campaign fundraising, he lived like one too. He visited cliff-top Caribbean resorts, golf courses designed by PGA champions and four-star restaurants — all courtesy of donors who bankrolled his political money empire.

Over the past six years, the former House majority leader and his associates have visited places of luxury most Americans have never seen, often getting there aboard corporate jets arranged by lobbyists and other special interests.

Public documents reviewed by The Associated Press tell the story: at least 48 visits to golf clubs and resorts; 100 flights aboard company planes; 200 stays at hotels, many world-class; and 500 meals at restaurants, some averaging nearly $200 for a
dinner for two.

Instead of his personal expense, the meals and trips for DeLay and his associates were paid with donations collected by the campaign committees, political action committees and children's charity the Texas Republican created during his rise to the top of Congress. His lawyer says the expenses are part of DeLay's effort to raise money from Republicans and to spread the GOP message.

Put them together and a lifestyle emerges.

NO! NO! I won't believe a politician engages in this kind of behavior!

Please God make it stop.

I file this under: And your surprised why exactly?

Are these reporters the biggest naifs in the galaxy? Or do they think we're that stupid?

You know what, don't answer that.

Oh, in case you missed it up front...he be de debil.
