Newsday via the Carpetbagger tells me that Tom DeLay owns $50,000 of Exxon-mobil stock

House Majority Leader Tom DeLay owns stock worth more than $50,000 in ExxonMobil, according to financial disclosure reports, while at the same time he is one of the driving forces behind legislation that would shield that company and other manufacturers of the gasoline additive MTBE from lawsuits that could cost them millions.

Hmm Tom DeLay MBTE. Haven't I heard about that once or twice ? Google has heard of that pair about 8,590 times.

In the fierce competition between my native country and my adoptive country over who has the most crooked politician the honorable Thomas DeLay seems to be besting that frigging Frimigoni.
