DeLay just can't seem to keep himself out of trouble.
A delegation of Republican House members including Majority Leader Tom DeLay accepted an expense-paid trip to South Korea in 2001 from a registered foreign agent despite House rules that bar the acceptance of travel expenses from foreign agents, according to government documents and travel reports filed by the House members.
Justice Department documents show that the Korea-U.S. Exchange Council, a business-financed entity created with help from a lobbying firm headed by DeLay's former chief of staff, registered under the Foreign Agents Registration Act on Aug. 22, 2001. DeLay; his wife, Christine; and two other Republican lawmakers departed on a trip financed by the group on Aug. 25 of that year.
Should we expect another rebuke from the House ethics committee, or is there really any point?

You know, it would probably take something extreme on his part to make his Republican pals leave him high and dry, such as being found to use campaign money to hire a Thai prostitute in Bangkok. And then only if it was a boy.
