TOM DELAY SLITHERS

An old school investigative report from the Houston Chronicle:

Records show ties of DeLay, Craddick to PAC

U.S. House Majority Leader Tom DeLay and Texas Speaker Tom Craddick quickly distanced themselves from a GOP political action committee this week after a state grand jury indicted three of the group's consultants.

But a Houston Chronicle review of documents from civil lawsuits and government databases involving Texans for a Republican Majority show DeLay and Craddick were kept abreast of the PAC's operations and were personally involved in the committee's fund-raising activities.

DeLay's daughter and personal political consultants ran TRMPAC. DeLay was on the board of advisers and was the featured guest at fund-raisers.

Craddick consulted frequently with TRMPAC staff. He accepted donations for the PAC and passed along contributions from TRMPAC to Republican House candidates during the 2002 elections.

You know, before these indictments, DeLay seemed to have no problem at all with his name being linked to TRMPAC. Now it appears as though the Lizard King has shed his skin: sounds like it's getting to be a bit too hot for such a cold blooded creature.

Heh.
