Guess Who's Coming to Dinner

Sending "Mr. Ethics" himself (0.00 / 0)

Why send a DeLay wanna be when they could round up old Tom DeLay himself?  He's still voting in Dist 22 we hear.

Roy Blunt is as ethically challenged (read corrupt) as Tom DeLay ever was.  Is Mike McCaul overlooking Blunt's problems?

His own party thought he was too close to corruption for their leadership post so they picked John Boehner instead.  But he's good enough for McCaul apparently.

Bostom Globe 2/3/06
GOP ousts Blunt as majority leader
Blunt and DeLay have shuttled large sums to each other's political action committees, and Blunt has been a key player in the ''K Street Project," Delay's plan to press lobbyists into hiring more Republicans. In addition, Blunt's wife, Abigail Perlman, lobbies for the Altria Group Inc., owners of tobacco giant Philip Morris.

"Blunt's a good man, but he couldn't overcome the relationship to DeLay," said Representative Joel Hefley, a Colorado Republican who was dismissed as House ethics chairman after his committee formally admonished DeLay in 2004. "While people wouldn't challenge DeLay -- [they] were afraid to do that -- [Boehner's election] shows that they're trying to get as far away from him as we can."

They're going to lose this seat (3.00 / 1)

The Congressman from Clear Channel may dry his tears with $100 bills, but he will be out of office when he does it.

I'm supporting Dan Grant.
