Donors Underwrite DeLay's Luxury Lifestyle

WASHINGTON

"As Tom DeLay became a king of campaign fundraising, he lived like one too. He visited cliff-top Caribbean resorts, golf courses designed by PGA champions and four-star restaurants _ all courtesy of donors who bankrolled his political money empire."

" Public documents reviewed by The Associated Press tell the story: at least 48 visits to golf clubs and resorts with lush fairways; 100 flights aboard company planes; 200 stays at hotels, many world-class; and 500 meals at restaurants, some averaging nearly $200 for a dinner for two."

" When DeLay wants to head somewhere without the hassle of commercial travel, he often asks a company for its jet and uses donations to pay for it.

Dozens of businesses have loaned DeLay their planes, from tobacco giants UST, RJ Reynolds and Philip Morris to energy companies like El Paso, Panda, Reliant and Dynegy. "

We were vacationing at the El Conquistador Resort, in Puerto Rico a couple of years ago when De-Lay and a bunch of hangers on were there. Never saw him in the Casino or bars, but did see him in the resturants and on the golf course. The guy had a great swing . . . with the golf club, I mean. He had a better collection of sticks than me . . . wonder who gave him those Callaways?

But he is not going to get much use out of them in the future. I doubt that he will be visiting the El Conquistador Resort on his own nickel anytime soon.

But you know, he and Dandy can sit in the yard and reprise the old days . . .

Crooks used to hang out at Murietta Hot Springs in the North County. NOw they travel and hang out anywhere in the world . . . .
