DeLay Doesn't Have a Brain
Evidence He Doesn't Have a Brain: Gambling Interests Funded DeLay Trip

Tom DeLay may have a heart, as Ron posted below, but he does not have a brain…

The Washington Post is reporting in tomorrow’s edition that, “ An Indian tribe and a gambling services company made donations to a Washington public policy group that covered most of the cost of a $70,000 trip to Britain by House Majority Leader Tom DeLay (R-Tex.), his wife, two aides and two lobbyists in mid-2000, two months before DeLay helped kill legislation opposed by the tribe and the company.”

The sponsor of the week-long trip listed in DeLay's financial disclosures was the nonprofit National Center for Public Policy Research, but a person involved in arranging DeLay's travel said that lobbyist Jack Abramoff suggested the trip and then arranged for checks to be sent by two of his clients, the Mississippi Band of Choctaw Indians and eLottery Inc.

2. It's not a brain that he lacks.
It's a heart. He doesn't have an ethical bone in his body. He has no 'right vs. wrong' feelings. He may be criminally insane.
