Tom DeLay in Biggest Scandal since Watergate

Drudge is reporting the Washington Post will lead with screaming headlines that Enron and other documents show Tom DeLay was soliciating corporate funds for political campaigns - illegal in Texas.

The report is out, seems to be rough draft, the dollar signs didn't come through correctly.

Karen Lundquist, the Ethics Commission's nonpartisan executive director, said all expenditures derived from corporate money -- whether for administrative purposes or not -- should have been reported. She also said the rules governing spending by political action committees are clear: Corporate money cannot be used for politically related expenses, such as fundraising and vote drives.

In other news coverage in Tom DeLay's district, Cable News 24 reports Tom DeLay gave money to his ethics investigators.

Records show that four of the five Republicans investigating an ethics complaint against House Majority Leader Tom DeLay have received campaign contributions from DeLay's political action committee.

Typically the Houston Chronicle just runs the AP story. Austin American Statemen broke the story with great reporting.

The Houston Chronicle did have a another bit of great news: San Antonio's National LULAC meeting turned into a Kerry Rally. The Chronicle focus is on this prompting some GOP members to walk out. Bush had addressed the meeting by video as well to only tepid response.

San Antonio News has a bit more on the spirited response to Kerry's appearance, of Kerry's "Que America sea America para todos, sí se puede (America can be the America for all, it can be done)."
