Default They do if it's "official"

business, which is a term used VERY loosely. This was not official business, it was a Delay CYA session with friendly media folks.

But FOX is still free to pay for the travel.

Ahhh! you changed!!!

Any-who...That may be legal, but in my book it doesn't make it right!

Nice change, some else shared the old icon with you.

"Rep. Tom DeLay (R-TX) "filed a report with the Clerk of the House of Representatives indicating he received free travel valued at $13,998.55 from Fox News Sunday for 'officially connected travel' on October 1-2, 2005, from Sugarland, TX to Washington, D.C. and back to Sugarland, TX.
$13,998.55 ??? Huh... Now that I think about it... that's about what it would take for me to do a FoxNews gig.

Default Well, there are only four options:

1. Delay pays (0% chance).
2. We pay.
3. FOX pays.
4. No politician goes on TV.

I pick 4. It's mostly spin anyway. When fox pays, it's all spin!

This is an ethical/moral issue. True, other may do this, but they shouldn't.

Oh, and the last time I ask you to provide a link to your "evidence" you gave me the Dog ate my homework excuse. You said the link was no longer there! You're such a comedian.

Last time you asked for a link I gave you the link to convictions and you started whining and making excuses about it...much like you have here. So now that we know that it's ok with us because everyone does it do you want to change the title of your now ill informed "defend defend" thread? If someone asks me for a link 99% of the time I provide it. You can't because your assertion doesn't exist, as I stated, it DOES happen all the time.

When I asked you to provide a link this is what you said. I'm suppose to take your word? Yeah, right!
