    Default Tom Delay Investigagtion

    If I understand it right, the Speaker of the House is currently being investigated over some trips he took. I'm guessing that the Democrats in congress will decide that reporting the details of trips they've taken is a can of worms they don't want to open and will let the mater quietly die.

    Pelosi Turns In Delinquent Reports for 3 Sponsor-Funded Trips

    House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) filed delinquent reports Friday for three trips she accepted from outside sponsors that were worth $8,580 and occurred as long as seven years ago, according to copies of the documents.

    The filing is among hundreds of revisions from members of both parties who have amended missing or incomplete reports as scrutiny of lawmaker travel has intensified.

    This appears to be an ongoing 'backlash reaction' from democrats. While Dr. Dean has been on the stump calling for Tom Delay to serve jail time for his congressional trips (and it remains to be proven that Delay has done anything wrong whatsoever in regard to violating any law, including no proof of actually violating senate rules in effect at the time Delay's trips were taken), a host of democrats from Hilary Clinton to Nancy Pelosi have been submitting amended trip statements to the US senate in order to avoid similar charges to Delay's also being cast in their direction. I don't have a link handy, but it is a matter of record that the amount of 'questionable trip expenses' involving democratic senators far exceeds the total for republican senators.
