Keeping with talking about Delay (after all he is so much fun to talk about),
here is an interesting little piece of news from
Political Money Line:

Rep. Tom DeLay filed a report with the Clerk of the House of
Representatives indicating he received free travel valued at $13,998.55 from
Fox News Sunday for “officially connected travel” on October 1-2, 2005, from
Sugarland, TX to Washington, D.C. and back to Sugarland, TX. Rep. DeLay
appeared on Fox News Sunday on October 2, 2005, the weekend after his
indictment on September 28, 2005.

Who says FOX News is fair and balanced, well besides FOX News.

On the actual
travel
disclosure form, it lists the total amount as transportation. Nothing is
listed for lodging, meals, etc. I wonder how much it does cost to fly from
Sugarland to D.C.

According to Travelocity, if I was to leave Houston International Airport and
fly to Reagan International, the highest cost flight would be one on Northwest
for $1,069. That is round trip. So why did FOX News pay almost 13 times that
amount.

Randi Rhodes was talking one day on Air America about how she would not go on
FOX news. One complaint of hers was that they do not pay for anything. The other
news networks pay to have your make up and hair done. FOX expects you to cover
that cost on your own.

Perhaps now that the House Ethics panel (see story at

Raw Story) has a new lawyer, they should start looking into this as well as
all the other backlogged investigations into Delay. Seems like there was
something more to FOX’s payment than purely transportation costs.
