DeLay Flies Corporate Jet to Arraignment
Tom DeLay has been criminally indicted for facilitating the illegal use of corporate funds in Texas campaigns. How did he arrive at his arraignment?:

DeLay’s staff disclosed that he flew to Houston on Thursday morning on a corporate jet owned by R.J. Reynolds, a longtime contributor that has flown him to Puerto Rico and other destinations.

When he landed, DeLay held a press conference and called allegations that he allowed corporate dollars to improperly influence the political process “contrived and baseless.”

Here's another funny quote considering all of the "delaying" tactics that his lawyers have been using:

Meanwhile Monday, DeLay's attorneys filed another motion seeking to expedite proceedings in the trial, arguing that the case has "affected the regular order and conduct of national legislative business" in Congress.
