Because we all like a Tom DeLay / sleazy politician story, here is another.

• Bacardi USA contributes $20,000 to DeLay's Texans for a Republican Majority, a political action committee in Texas (already under investigation).
• DeLay introduces trademark legislation that would give the liquor company exclusive rights to the "Havana Club" rum trademark in the United States. This would effectively end a trademark dispute in which Bacardi USA is involved.
• DeLay planned to slip an amendment revising these U.S. trade statutes on behalf of Bacardi USA into the annual defense authorization bill. So anyone who voted against this abhorrent, unethical amendment will be accused of "not supporting the troops."

Bacardi USA, by the way, is owned by a Bermuda-based company run by a family of prominent Cuban exiles. These Cuban exiles happen to be very generous with campaign donations.

In other DeLay news, a texas grand jury returned felony indictments on charges of making illegal contributions on behalf of DeLay against The Alliance for Quality Nursing Home Care Corp.; Diversified Collections Services Inc.; Questerra Corp.; Cracker Barrel Old Country Store Inc.; Sears Roebuck & Co.; Westar Energy Inc.; The Williams Companies Inc.; and Bacardi U.S.A. Inc.

Remember, Tom DeLay is quoted as saying that he would "stand up for a Biblical worldview in everything I do and everywhere I am."

I don't remember the Bible advocating anything like this.
