You may recall this story from late last year about a Russian oil company funnelling $1 million to a phony “grassroots” group with deep ties to Tom DeLay for the alleged purpose of influencing his vote on legislation the International Monetary Fund needed to finance a bailout of the collapsing Russian economy. That story was the basis for the notorious anti-DeLay ad that the cowardly local TV stations refused at first to run.
Anyway, there are new developments on the Russian money for DeLay front. Read about it all here, and remember again that DeLay has bigger problems looming than what’s going on in Austin.
