So, Democrats are after House Majority Leader Tom Delay with old accusations of improper junkets paid for by lobbyists. I wondered aloud how in my last post how many Congressmen have taken junkets and whether they could survive scrutiny as well.
From today's USA Today, front page, about a study of trips taken by 600 members of Congress conducted by PoliticalMoneyLine:
- Rep Harold Ford, D-Tenn, took the most trips: 63.
- Delay took 14 trips, valued at $94,568. He ranked 28th for value of trips, and 114th in number taken.
- Democrats took 3,025; Republicans 2,375
Democrats should be wary of bringing on the charges.
