Justice De-Lay'd?

Could it be that the House o' Hubris that Tommy built is collapsing around him? We can only hope...

A six-day trip to Moscow in 1997 by then-House Majority Whip Tom DeLay (R-Tex.) was underwritten by business interests lobbying in support of the Russian government, according to four people with firsthand knowledge of the trip arrangements.

DeLay reported that the trip was sponsored by a Washington-based nonprofit organization. But interviews with those involved in planning DeLay's trip say the expenses were covered by a mysterious company registered in the Bahamas that also paid for an intensive $440,000 lobbying campaign.
...
House members bear some responsibility to ensure that the sponsors for their travel are not masquerading for registered lobbyists or foreign government interests, legal experts say. House ethics rules bar the acceptance of travel reimbursement from registered lobbyists and foreign agents.

In this case, travel funds did not come directly from lobbyists; the money came from a firm, Chelsea Commercial Enterprises Ltd., that funded the lobbying campaign, according to the sources. Chelsea was coordinating the effort with a Russian oil and gas company -- Naftasib -- that has business ties with Russian security institutions, the sources said.

Correct me if I'm wrong here, but about this time weren't Delay and his ilk whipping up the Whore Media and Millionaire Pundits screaming "Rule of Law" about a blow-job?

I have a feeling that pretty soon (and we can only hope), that Mr. "I am the Federal Government" Delay's career will be on a ... feeding tube. I wonder if he'll get born again in prison denims like Chucky Colson, hey, that'll give him a whole new avenue of access to the 1600 Crew....

Interesting lil' piece (!!!) over on Atrios, about DeLay's daughter. Actually it's just about the $500k she and her mom recieved as 'payroll'.

Apparently shes quite the little tramp. The story is, she was sitting in the hot tub on the balcony as a lobbyiest poured champagne all over her. This was from her own admission too. Apparently, shes rather proud of her trampy behavior. koffgutterslutkoff got something caught in my throat.

I can only venture to guess what occurred up to and from that point.

Merely suggestive is all I'm sayin'.

The lobby firm also represented Milosevic.
