DeLay explicitly tried to graft the lobbyists and Congressional Republicans together via his "K Street Project". This is fine with Iowan, apparently, because Republican graft is not a bad thing the way Democratic graft is. As has been said, the outrage in Washington isn't what's illegal, it's what's legal. Whether it's Jim Wright, Newt Gingrich, Jack Murtha, or Duke Cunningham, Congress has allowed disgustingly self-interested behavior to become the norm, and this is a centuries-old practice. DeLay is a dirty crook, but will probably escape a criminal sentence. Too bad.
