Democratic superdelegate ordered to pay $1 million in legal fees


Democratic superdelegate Jim McDermott, a congressman from Washington, has been ordered by a federal judge to cough up the $1 million in legal fees he owes GOP Rep. John Boehner over a protracted legal case.

McDermott manages to keep his name in the news through questionable activities. Just last week, a federal indictment revealed McDermott's 2002 trip to Iraq was paid for by Saddam Hussein.

McDermott's legal problems add to the the growing number of Dem superdelegates in legal trouble.
