God Told Him to Cheat and Steal?

Or was evangelical minister and former DeLay aide Edwin A. Buckham listening, as the Church Lady would say, to SATAN when he apparently took bribes, made bribes and did his level best to steal from fellow evangelicals? The Washington Post has a nice, in depth investigation of Buckham's dealings here. Findings from the Abramoff plea just keeps getting more and more interesting. Buckham and his wife grabbed over $1 million of the $3.02 million raised from the US Family Network (a non profit created by Buckham).

So what did the US Family Network achieve for all that money? Well, it managed to very successfully funnel money into DeLay's advisers' pockets. But it wasn't just all going into the Buckhams' pockets. For at least five years, the Buckhams' (Ed & wife Wendy) consulting firm sent checks that averaged $3,200-3,400 a month to Mrs. DeLay.
