Tom Delay -- In His Own Words
The Daily Delay highlights David Sirota's catch of this delicious statement from our fearless U.S. House Majority Leader in 1995 -- my how things change in a decade. Brother Tom has made a remarkable spiritual journey to arrive 180 degrees from his former self. We've reprinted it for your enjoyment.
"The time has come that the American people know exactly what their Representatives are doing here in Washington. Are they feeding at the public trough, taking lobbyist-paid vacations, getting wined and dined by special interest groups? Or are they working hard to represent their constituents? The people, the American people, have a right to know...I say the best disinfectant is full disclosure, not isolation." - U.S. Rep. Tom DeLay, 11/16/95
Box seats to the Three Tenors -- $14,000
Scottish golf junket -- $70,000
Learning Tom Delay will be investigated by the House Ethics Committee, and that he's hanging himself with his own words -- priceless.
