Show them the money

Four of Alabama's five Republican congressmen have chipped in to the legal defense fund for former House Majority Leader Tom DeLay, R-Texas. All five, meanwhile, have received campaign donations from DeLay's political action committee over the years.

Actually, it's tough to find a GOP congressman who hasn't taken contributions from DeLay. Probably the most famous member of that short list is U.S. Rep. Tom Osborne, R-Neb., who won three national championships as Nebraska's head football coach.
