This is the most ironic and hypocritical thing I've seen from the GOP in the last...er, uh...hour.
It seems that one of DeLay's businessmen cronies -- who served as Treasurer of the Texans for a Republican Majority PAC -- has filed for personal bankruptcy, in the face of lawsuits stemming from his various alleged wrongdoings in financing campaigns to defeat Democrats.
That's right. Here's one guy who made sure the bankruptcy law passed -- but apparently feels the need to beat the October 17 deadline for filing for bankruptcy before that bankruptcy law takes effect. He doesn't want those new bankruptcy rules applying to HIM, of course.
Rep. Delay, the former U.S. House majority leader, and three of his lieutenants continue to fight a flurry of criminal charges stemming from how the political action committee used corporate money during the 2002 statehouse elections. But Mr. Ceverha was the lone defendant in a lawsuit lost by TRMPAC earlier this year.
A state district judge found that TRMPAC improperly raised and spent $600,000 in corporate contributions to help GOP candidates in House elections. The suit was brought by three Democrats who lost in those elections, and the court ordered Mr. Ceverha to pay $196,000 in damages.
"There was no end in sight unless I took this action. I have no inclination nor the money to just carry on this fight forever."

No pity for this man but I don't think he is getting any of his phone calls returned. Hung out to dry. The repugs really do eat their own.
