DeLay will pay lawyers with campaign money

Rep. Tom DeLay (R-Texas) said Thursday that money in his campaign account is headed toward his defense.

“We'll pay lawyers,” he said when asked whether he would turn his war chest over to the National Republican Congressional Committee.

DeLay, the former House majority leader, announced earlier this week that he would resign before his term expires. DeLay has been indicted in a Texas campaign-finance case and two of his former aides have pleaded guilty in a federal corruption probe.

DeLay said Thursday that announcing his resignation has been liberating.

Quoting Martin Luther King. Jr., DeLay said, “Free at last, free at last. Thank God Almighty, I’m free at last.”

God, this guy's just so many kinds of sleazy.
