No Gamble at All
In 2000, conservative constituents of House Majority Leader Tom Delay may have been surprised to learn that Delay killed a bill that would've prohibited Internet gambling, when gambling is such an anathema to Christian fundamentalists.
According to the Washington Post, this paradox is easily explained. It seems just prior to killing the legislation, an Indian tribe and a gambling services company, both of whom actively opposed the bill, paid $70,000 for a junket Delay made to Great Britain.
It's good to know that even dogmatists like Delay are pliable, provided you provide the right kind of grease.
