The Manchurian Congressman

The Washington Post is reporting that Russian interests, possibly the Russian government itself, paid Congressman Tom DeLay more than a half-million dollars in 1997 in the form of a lobbying campaign and a junket to Moscow.

Coincidently, shortly thereafter, DeLay voted to extended billions of dollars in aid to Russia, despite the objections of conservative House Republicans.

While some may see this as a sign of corruption on the part of the glorious Command of the Faithful, in reality it just shows that DeLay is capable of independent thought.

There is no majesty, nor might save in DeLay.
