DeLay campaign cites Colbert bit as evidence of
innocence

Tom DeLay is grasping at straws in his legal defense
of his official corrution: his campaign cited a
Stephen Colbert bit as evidence of his innocence. The
segment is an interview with Robert "Outfoxed"
Greenwald, whose latest film is called "The Big Buy:
Tom DeLay’s Stolen Congress." DeLay's legal defense
fund cited Colbert's interview in a fundraising
letter, under the heading "Colbert Cracks Real Story
on Motivations Behind the Movie." They're featuring
the video on their website, too:
