Delay Legal Fund contributions way down

Who are your Friends? Hot Tub Tom's legal fund raised $43,000 for the quarter, not even enough to cover expenses. The way I see it, why would anyone want to give money to a cause that is headed down the same path as Karl Rove and the White House.

The legal fund contributions are running far below 2004, when DeLay raised $439,300. In the quarter ending March 31 this year, DeLay raised $47,750 — enough to cover his first quarter expenses of more than $34,000.

The fund has raised $1,089,871 since its formation in July 2000, according to Public Citizen, a congressional watchdog group that keeps track of the donations

ouch!
