Tom Delay needs to be scraped off of the sole of our collective shoe:
The Internal Revenue Service recently audited the books of a Texas nonprofit group that was critical of campaign spending by former House majority leader Tom DeLay (R-Tex.) after receiving a request for the audit from one of DeLay's political allies in the House.
The lawmaker, House Ways and Means Committee member Sam Johnson (R-Tex.), was in turn responding to a complaint about the group, Texans for Public Justice, from Barnaby W. Zall, a Washington lawyer close to DeLay and his fundraising apparatus, according to IRS documents.
The result of the inquiry?
No tax violations were found, according to a letter the IRS sent the group.
Officially, I'm changing it: What's the Matter with Texas? (with full apologies to Amanda, Norbiz, Molly Ivins, etc. and so forth).
