Texas political corruption made understandable

Thank god, as usual, for Molly Ivins. This week she clarifies exactly how big a scumbucket Tom DeLay has to be to actually violate Texas campaign law.

Seriously, in this state it's legal to give out checks right before votes on the floor of the legislature. Most everything is legal but these guys managed to find some laws to break. DeLay is an ethical nightmare when it comes to fund-raising. This is a man who has tried to hide political giveaways in a charity for foster children.
