Bush Gestures Support for Delay

Mr. DeLay has been accused of letting lobbyists illegally pay for several overseas trips, including a golf trip to Scotland to play at St. Andrew's. Mr. DeLay has denied any wrongdoing, and says Democrats are targeting him because they cannot defeat the Republicans' agenda.
"I know I have been watched and investigated probably more than even Bill Clinton," he told The Times two weeks ago. "They can't find anything, so they're going back to my childhood, going to my family, going to things that happened eight years ago. There's nothing there."

"They are just desperate," Mr. Rove told CNN's "Inside Politics" last week. "We strongly support Tom DeLay. He's a good man, a close ally of this administration."
