Dole: Tom, Delay is hurting you BY JAMES GORDON MEEK DAILY NEWS WASHINGTON BUREAU Tom DeLay WASHINGTON - Former Sen. Bob Dole yesterday joined the list of top Republicans urging embattled House Majority Leader Tom DeLay to come clean on his ethics troubles. "I think what Tom needs to do is just to come out somewhere and to just lay out everything," said Dole, the ex-Senate majority leader and 1996 GOP presidential nominee. Dole helped lead the 1994 Republican takeover of the Congress with DeLay and ex-House Speaker Newt Gingrich (R-Ga.), who has also said DeLay should give his side to the public. Dole suggested the GOP might even cut loose the firebrand majority leader if the controversy continues smoldering. "My advice would be the sooner you can get out and tell your story the better. Lay it all out," Dole told CNN's "Late Edition." "I think maybe the long knives are out for Tom DeLay." "What he is doing by stonewalling these accusations, the clouds of corruption are not just on the Republicans but the entire House," Rep. Charles Rangel (D-Harlem) told CBS' "Face the Nation." DeLay last week offered to tell everything to the House Ethics Committee about lavish trips funded by lobbyists and foreigners. But Democrats, who have stopped short of accusing DeLay of breaking the law, refuse to join the panel because GOP leaders replaced several members last year who admonished DeLay in another scandal. "That's an abuse of power. That's overreaching," Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) told ABC's "This Week." Sen. Trent Lott (R-Miss.) defended DeLay by slamming President Bush, who allowed Lott to be toppled as Senate majority leader over an ethics problem. "I do think the White House needs to remember that people who fight hard for you as a candidate and for your issues as a President deserve your support, aggressive support," Lott said. The House's No. 3 Republican, Rep. Roy Blunt of Missouri, insisted DeLay didn't know who paid for the trips. "I don't believe Tom DeLay was aware that they funded [overseas trips] in any way other than a totally proper way," Blunt told "Fox News Sunday." But aides to a powerful friend of DeLay who is under investigation, lobbyist Jack Abramoff, told Time magazine that the majority leader's staff knew enough to demand the best accommodations on junkets they arranged.
