"just another seedy attempt by the liberal media to embarrass me."

So says Tom DeLay after Jack Abramoff was indicted yesterday. Jack and Tom are old buddies, and mysteriously two very expensive DeLay trips have wound up on Jack's credit card. The report says, "The Washington Post reported earlier this year that DeLay took two expensive overseas trips that Abramoff and other lobbyists bankrolled -- a violation of House rules, if true."

"I would have gotten away with violating ethics rules if it weren't for that damned liberal media," DeLay complained to the sheriff while Shaggy and Scooby Doo looked on in disbelief.
