The New York Times has its own DeLay piece, this one lacking whatever substance the Washington Post conveyed.

The Times devotes its piece to the fact that DeLay’s PAC paid his wife and daughter for services rendered on behalf of his re-election campaigns. The payments fall under the categories of “fund-raising fees,” and “campaign management.” Several paragraphs later, the NYT brings itself to mention DeLay’s daughter “has managed several of her father’s re-election campaigns for his House seat.”

The piece also mentions that this practice is not unusual in Congress, citing Barbara Boxer as example. Though the NYT paints a portrait of impropriety, nowhere in the piece does it cite any possible ethical or rule violations committed by DeLay’s actions.
