HOUSTON ~ The number of Houston television stations planning to air a slightly sanitized version of an anti-Tom Delay ad has now reached three.
N-B-C affiliate K-P-R-C and C-B-S affiliate K-H-O-U have decided to join Fox affiliate K-R-I-V in airing the 30-second spot. A-B-C affiliate K-T-R-K is still choosing not to air the spot.
All four had declined to air a previous version of the commercial attacking the Republican congressman from the Houston suburb of Sugar Land. The new ad says DeLay "received" campaign money from disgraced super-lobbyist Jack Abramoff (AY'-bruh-mahf). The original said he "pocketed" the money.
The original ad, paid for by two liberal groups, was supposed to start running on Houston stations last week. The DeLay campaign sent letters asking them not to run the ad, saying it was misleading. The new version says "Here's the ad Tom DeLay does not want you to see."
