The taint of corporate cash

A judge ruled today that Bill Ceverha, the treasurer for Texans for a Republican Majority, a political action committee formed by House Majority Leader Tom DeLay, will have to pay nearly $200,000. He was found guilty of not reporting thousands of dollars in campaign contributions.

The Democrats who sued TRMPAC claimed Ceverha violated the state election law, designed to keep elections free from "the taint of corporate cash."

Ah yes! The taint of corporate cash. The area in Texas between administrative expenses and political research, polling, mailing, fund-raising and conferences. The area designed to keep a man such as Tom DeLay from pooing all over his future political aspirations.

Mr. DeLay hasn't been indicted yet, but seein' as how a judge has finally ruled that something illegal did in fact take place, it's not lookin' good for him.
