Fox News Paid for DeLay's Travel$14 Grand?!? Oh PuhLeeze.
Rep. Tom DeLay (R-TX) "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."
Roundtrip, Houston - D.C. - Houston, First Class, one day notice.
Expedia gave me fares of $692.90, $920.90, or $1,120.90
One night at the Washington DC Ritz, $599.00
Luxury Rental Car, $213.92
Being able to pocket over Ten Grand and call it "expenses" AND being able to grin at softball questions aimed at twisting a potential jury pool in your favor -- PRICELESS!
