Tom DeLay should be pleased that fellow scoundrel Karl Rove has been grabbing headlines lately, diverting attention from DeLay’s own woes. DeLay is back in the press, however, as the result of the Abramoff indictment that TalkLeft discussed here and a Federal Election Commission audit.

ARMPAC, Tom DeLay’s political action committee, unlawfully used more “soft money” to pay its 2001-02 administrative expenses than federal law allowed. The accounting shenanigans increased the amount of money the PAC had available to spend on Congressional races in 2002.

The FEC hasn’t decided yet whether to levy a fine against ARMPAC.

    But at least Delay still has an invite to Justice Sunday, Part Deux. You gotta love the ethics of the "values voters". Corruption in your ranks? Who cares as long as you hate gays, don't want women to have the right to have an abortion, and think this country should be a theocracy. Meet all of these requirements and you too can stand at the bully pulpit on JustUs Sunday II!

    as obviously slimy as delay is, someone must think he's hot stuff: he was re-elected in his district by a landslide. what this says about his constituents is anyone's guess, i've not a clue. but he must be doing something right, or he wouldn't still be in congress. give the devil his due.

    He raises, or steals, enough money and spreads it around. Whores are often devoted to their pimps. He added $1.5 bil on to the energy bill, as a last minute stealth measure, after it was written. Half of that went back to his home town.

    I think you folks may be missing the point. He was found guilty by the FCC, but they don't know whether they will charge him. Gosh, $330k to subvert elections, I guess IOKIYAR. 'Next!'

    Hmmm, illegal funds? He should call Nancy Pelosi. She can tell him all about such stuff.
