A friend of mine today pointed out that Tom DeLay has done notable work for foster children, including being a foster parent. I've been able to more or less verify that he and his wife took in 3 teenagers at different points. He also has done notable charity work for foster/abused child advocacy, but those have been tainted by ties to his political scandals.

Regardless, anyone who takes in 3 foster children, especially the usually more difficult teenagers, is worthy of respect. Politically, he still makes me wish we had a more moderate fascist running Washington, but I'm encouraged that even he can do something worthwhile in his life.
