Your list shows congresspeople who went on privately-funded trips. Delay is in trouble because he went on a lobbyist-paid trip. "Privately-funded" is not the same as "lobbyist-paid". House ethics rules do not prohibit taking privately-funded trips (e.g. trips sponsored by think tanks, non-profit groups, institutions, etc). House rules do explicitly prohibit taking lobbyist-paid trips. Hope that is clear enough?
