The Raw Story | Slap: Democrat says DeLay claim he's done nothing wrong a "myth"

The Raw Story | Slap: Democrat says DeLay claim he's done nothing wrong a "myth": "The ranking Democrat on the House Rules Committee, Rep. Louise Slaughter (D-NY) issued a release titled 'FACT CHECK' late Wednesday afternoon, saying former House Majority Leader Tom DeLay's claim that he'd done nothing wrong was a 'myth,' RAW STORY has learned.

MYTH -- says the release -- and prints DeLay's statement: 'I have done nothing wrong. I have violated no law, no regulation, no rule of the House. I have done nothing unlawful, unethical, or, I might add, unprecedented...'

FACT, it continues: 'Tom DeLay holds the dubious distinction of being the most admonished member of Congress ever.'

The 'fact' checks out. DeLay has received more admonishments than any other member of Congress in U.S. history. It's unclear, however, that DeLay was referring to previous ethical transgressions with his most recent statements."
