The Liberal Standard
A six-day trip to Moscow in 1997 by then-House Majority Whip Tom DeLay (R-Tex.) was underwritten by business interests lobbying in support of the Russian government, according to four people with firsthand knowledge of the trip arrangements.
DeLay reported that the trip was sponsored by a Washington-based nonprofit organization. But interviews with those involved in planning DeLay's trip say the expenses were covered by a mysterious company registered in the Bahamas that also paid for an intensive $440,000 lobbying campaign.

Tom Delay is nothing but a cheap theif in the night and a hypocrite of not only honest government,but someone who will use any means neccesary to rule over the democrats and the like without caring one ioda of who he rips off or what people he would use to justify getting a foothole on crummy tactics,as he did with Teri Schiavo.
