DeLay inadvertently gives $27,500 to Katrina Survivors

AP:
Rep. Steven LaTourette, who represents northeast Ohio, gave $13,000 from his re-election campaign to the Bush-Clinton Katrina Relief Fund earlier this month. That equaled the contributions his election campaigns had received from DeLay's Americans for a Republican Majority PAC since the 1994 election cycle.

He is not the first to do so, either:
Rep. Kenny Hulshof of Missouri said earlier this month that he, too, sent a check for $14,500 - the amount he had received from DeLay's committee since 1996 - to the Katrina relief fund.

Talk about 'Compassionate Conservative'! Giving illegally obtained money to the needy is exactly how you do it!
