The Commander Needn't Pay
Folly was being to worry about the glorious Commander of the Faithful, US Congressman Tom DeLay, as he had been keeping under the radar lately. She thought perhaps he got sick. Or even worse, honest.
But there was no need to worry. The Washington Post is reporting that Jack Abramoff, who, purely coincidently, is the same lobbyist who gave House Speaker Hastert a free $1,000 lunch, paid as much as $50,000 for a DeLay junket to England and Scotland.
No problem here. $50,000 is just slightly more than the $50 limit imposed by Congress. Why quibble over a few dollars?
There is no majesty, nor might save in DeLay.
