Correct. His wife and daughter were paid that over x amount of years for their "work". It is not uncommon for politicians to do this, and it is another example of not getting the best people possible. Both party members are guilty of doing this.

Will it become a bigger deal? I have my doubts.

The payments appear in Federal Election Commission statements and separate records in Tom DeLay's home state of Texas, says the New York Times.

While other Congress members employ relatives, these payments - via political committees - are reported to be particularly generous.

Fact: Delay paid himself (his family) $500,000, stole it basically, because that's like paying himself. You know it and I know it. Quit trying to lie your way out. Delay is a crook. And this has to do with tens of millions, not just the 500 K he pocketed.
