Hubby's link does not quite say what his opening post says. From the CBS News link hubby provided... "Congressional rules permit privately financed travel, provided the money doesn't come from a lobbyist or the representative of a foreign interest." If you go to CBS's source (PoliticalMoneyLine.com), you find a listing of politicans who have taken privately funded trips. There is no evidence, nor even allegation that the 27 people who have accepted more private travel money than Delay have accepted it from forbidden sources. Now, for number 28 Mr. Delay, there are receipts for a credit card belonging to a registered lobbyist!
