Helping Out Poor Tom DeLay
Helping Out Poor Tom DeLay
In today’s Dallas Morning News, American Airlines spokesman Tim Wagner explains his company’s $5,000 donation to Tom DeLay’s legal defense fund this way:
We were told that Mr. DeLay, a member of Congress from our headquarters state of Texas, was facing substantial legal bills that he was unable to pay personally because of their size and his limited resources.
DeLay’s “limited” resources? From Wednesday’s New York Times:
The wife and daughter of Tom DeLay, the House majority leader, have been paid more than $500,000 since 2001 by Mr. DeLay’s political action and campaign committees, according to a detailed review of disclosure statements filed with the Federal Election Commission and separate fund-raising records in Mr. DeLay’s home state, Texas.
Maybe next time he needs cash to pay his legal bills – instead of relying on a private company involved in major pending legislation – DeLay should ask his wife for a loan.

Did you expect American Airlines to have a press conference saying they were paying DeLay for “good government?”

April 7th, 2005 at 5:20 pmAmerican Airlines has decided to help out old Tom with a contribution to his legal defense fund because he has limited resources. Poor old Tom.
Well,I jsut bought my tickets for vacation.Continetal
April 7th, 2005 at 9:35 pmseemed like a good choice
De Lay is a nearly perfect example of the new,hysterical Reli geous Right. These people have unprecidented power and money. They candroolall over the Schiavo story and then honor thepope, who was one or theirs. Thet hace convinced themselves that they are heavy assault fron the liberal elite
April 7th, 2005 at 10:09 pm,and media,so they rush to c ry poverty. for Shame!
This administration and it’s minions never seem to surprise me anymore. —Off topic—-I just watched Bowling for Columbine last night…… WHOA!!!!!!!!! Anyone who hasn’t watched please go out and do so. Please. No excuses……….It makes soooo much since! Fear makes for a bad society. Period.
April 8th, 2005 at 7:58 amWhat else will Tom DeLay do or say to make America a place where corruption trumps conscience? When will the GOP wake up?

Obviously, DeLay should have taken the cash over the junkets — to cover court costs and avoid his woeful poverty.
April 8th, 2005 at 1:05 pmPoor, poor, poor Tom DeLay. Poor Mrs. DeLay. Poor daughter DeLay. They are all so very poor. Their travel agent is poor. Their chauffeurs are poor. Their butler is poor. Their maids are poor. Their chef is poor. They are all so very, very poor.
Just kidding! Actually, it’s only their moral values that are poor! Well, maybe their chauffeurs, butler, maids and cook too!
April 8th, 2005 at 2:37 pmI am sure he will end up doing something illegal with his “defense fund” too… The man is so unethical, I don’t believe he holds any remorse for his slimy life.
One thought that keeps going through my head: What kind of woman would stay married to such a corrupt man? Since, I assume she is not an idiot, they must make a good match.
April 8th, 2005 at 2:45 pmThis sounds like Linda Lay on the “Today” Show when Kenny Boy got caught and she was whining about how they didn’t have any assets or money (while she reclined in her Houston Penthouse). And we’re supposed to feel sorry for them.
NOT!
April 8th, 2005 at 4:32 pmI just posted this to the American Airlines web site, check the “I want an answer” box, would love to see how they reply.
April 9th, 2005 at 9:59 amI am writing to inform you that I will no longer consider American Airlines when I choose an airline to fly. I will make this choice regardless of the cost and schedule of another flight. I am taking this action in response to your decision to donate 5000.00 to Tom Delay. He is under investigation for numerous campaign and financial improprieties. In addition, in the past he has shown that his vote can be bought. His vote and defeat of a bill to curtail and control sweat shop labor and sex trade on the American controlled island of Saipan is an example. This vote occurred after a junket to Saipan paid for by lobbyists for those groups.
