Transcript of Bugbitch Delay's Interview on Faux News Sunday
Surprisingly, it was not chuck full o' softballs. I see the freeper-scum are not happy, so it can't be *all* bad.

Transcript: Rep. Tom DeLay on FNS

Sunday, October 02, 2005

<SNIP>

WALLACE: There's a lot of talk this week from Republicans and from the media that the DeLay era, as they call it, is over, that you will never again be, perhaps, the most powerful man on Capitol Hill.

Are you done as a major force in Congress?

<SNIP>

WALLACE: But if they sent the $190,000 check with banned corporate money, banned to go to state races, and send that along with a list of "Here are seven candidates, and give this one $20,000, give this one $10,000," isn't that, in effect, a form of money laundering, that you're taking money that's banned from Texas state races and funneling it through the Republican National Commit (search)tee to get it back to the Texas state candidates?

<SNIP>

WALLACE: OK. Let me ask you specifically. The indictment says that on or about September 13, 2002, that you entered into an agreement, in effect, a criminal conspiracy, along with Mr. Ellis and Mr. Colyandro in Travis County, Texas, the area around Austin.

Do you know where you were on or about September 13, 2002?

<SNIP>

WALLACE: But they're pretty colorful.

Let's talk about how deeply involved you were with this TRMPAC, the political action committee.

Here's a copy of an e-mail, and let's put it up on the screen, that was sent from TRMPAC to Texas oil man Boone Pickens (search). And it says Tom DeLay agreed to help us and has been an ardent advocate for us at raising money, making phone calls, serving as a special guest at events and providing assistance with leading strategists.

Here, sir, is the e-mail. I mean, it looks like you're a lot more deeply involved than you say you were.
