Corporate Donor Flies Delay to Court Hearing
When Tom Delay flew to Houston last week to face charges he illegally funneled corporate donations Texas Republicans, he didn't have to fly coach.
Instead, one of his corporate donors was kind enough to loan him a jet. Luckily for Mr. Delay the donor is well respected for its honesty and integrity, and is unlikely to cause any appearance of impropriety in the case.
Of course, I'm joking. Really it could hardly be more ridiculous.
[From the Minneapolis Star Tribune]: DeLay's staff disclosed that he flew to Houston on Thursday morning on a corporate jet owned by R.J. Reynolds, a longtime contributor that has flown him to Puerto Rico and other destinations; they said the jet was "used in compliance with regulations." The company, which has also given $17,000 to DeLay's legal defense fund, did not comment Friday.
