Defendant DeLay

Finally there seems to be some action on the Nick Smith/Tom DeLay bribery question. DeLay says Smith pushed for the grease but DeLay's staff talked about the possibility before the DeLay/Smith meeting. It looks more like DeLay's idea than Smith's. Given the reluctance for the Ethics Committee to do much of anything except for the most egregious cases it will be interesting to see if the DeLay case rises to that level in their eyes.
