Birds of a feather
I love this headline:

"Former DeLay aide pleads guilty to fraud charges"

Rudy, a top DeLay aide while the Texas lawmaker served as House Majority Leader, took payments from Abramoff in 2000, then helped stop an Internet gambling bill opposed by Abramoff's clients, papers filed in U.S. District Court in Washington said.

Later, while working as a lobbyist, Rudy also was extensively involved in arranging a golf trip to Scotland for Rep. Bob Ney and congressional staffers, the court papers said.


However, I don't understand how a staffer can "help stop" a gambling bill. Doesn't this imply that Delay himself was bought as part of this package? If this guy did this using the authority of the majority leader's office, doesn't that mean Delay was ultimately responsible?
