DeLays lawyer contributed to Dems!

Seems like, by his own reasoning, DeLay's lawyer should excuse himself from the case!
First Draft:

Dick DeGuerin, Tom DeLay's hired gun, is making lots of noise about Judge Bob Perkins political donations. That lead me to query the OpenSecrets.org database to see where DeGuerin has been putting his money.

It turns out that since 1992 DeGuerin had contributed $2,500 to the Democratic National Committee, $1,000 to the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, and a total of $11,800 to six Democratic candidates including a $1,000 donation to Nick Lampson in 1996 who just happens to be running against Tom DeLay in 2006.

In fact, DeGuerin has contributed to the campaigns of just two Republicans, $1,000 to Congressman Ted Poe and $9,800 to Senator Kay Bailey Hutchinson (chump change in comparison with the legal fee he must have recieved from her when he defended Hutchinson from Ronnie Earle).
