take19 - TAKEN!!!

Last month, when Tom DeLay was indicted, we asked that Sue give back the more than $12,000 she had collected from one of DeLay's Political Action Committees. So far, four of her fellow House colleagues have decided that the right thing to do is to send DeLay's dirty money back. But Sue shows no signs of forking it over.

We'll be generous here and assume it's because nobody has come up with a good suggestion on exactly what Sue should do with that money. So here's a very good suggestion, courtesy of a group called Campaign for America's Future: send it to the victims of Hurricane Katrina. A check for $12,000 ought to help a needy family stay in temporary housing awhile longer. Or provide a used car for a family who lost theirs in the storm. One can only imagine the possibilities.
