Big tobacco gives DeLay a lift

Somehow I missed this delicious bit of irony on the DeLay indictment. He flew down to Texas to turn himself in on charges of laundering corporate donations, on a corporate jet supplied by RJ Reynolds. The tobacco giant also donated $17,000 to his defense fund.

Funny you never hear about his constituents holding bake sales or something to raise funds in his defense. Here's hoping they remember this at the ballot box if the Hammer head manages to skate on his crimes.
