To Russia, Love Tom DeLay

"Once in a very long time, a scandal comes along that seems to capture the essence of our times. I’d say that scandal appeared on Saturday, when most of us were too busy getting out the honkers and the booze to notice.

Here’s the crux: Was the Republican leader Tom DeLay working on behalf of Russians against the American public interest—and being compensated for it?

That’s a pretty strong accusation, but unless I read my Washington Post wrong, that is exactly what was alleged in a front page story that appeared on Saturday, the last day of 2005, and therefore may escape proper notice. The article is even easier to miss because of the mundane “more of the same” headline above it: " The DeLay-Abramoff Money Trail : Nonprofit Group Linked to Lawmaker Was Funded Mostly by Clients of Lobbyist.""

All I want to know is how the Cuban community feels about this. You know I heard rumors of this a few times, but after the plea deal I thought for sure there would be a big hoha around here. we Cubans are very Republican, except for me of course, but the Russians, you would think that there would be a outcry of foul that could be heard all the way to Moscow. Yet I have not heard a peep out of the Cuban community, and as far as I know non of the Cuban blogs have posted anything. Is it just me or don't anyone else think that it's a bit dangerous for the Russians to be infiltrating a local political party, haven't we seen this once before?
