more DeLay corruption

From the Washington Post, first seen at Americablog :

S. Korean Group Sponsored DeLay Trip
Visits May Have Broken House Rules
A delegation of Republican House members including Majority Leader Tom DeLay accepted an expense-paid trip to South Korea in 2001 from a registered foreign agent despite House rules that bar the acceptance of travel expenses from foreign agents, according to government documents and travel reports filed by the House members.

Jan W. Baran, a former general counsel for the Republican National Committee, said that although he was uncertain whether this trip violated the rules, "it's a problem" likely to trigger an investigation by the House Committee on Standards of Official Conduct, known as the ethics committee.
DeLay was admonished three times last year by the ethics committee.

This guy just can't stay away from the ethics committee, can he? Of course, nothing will come of it, unless bush gives him a promotion or a medal!
