DeLay; replaced by the new, improved version of... DeLay!

Ethics cloud hangs over new House GOP leader
He employs adviser indicted with DeLay
Mary Curtius, Los Angeles Times
Friday, September 30, 2005
Washington -- House Republicans struggled Thursday to regain their political balance, one day after House Majority Leader Tom DeLay relinquished his leadership position after being indicted by a grand jury in his home state of Texas.
As he worked to unite the party and turn its attention back to the legislative agenda, Rep. Roy Blunt of Missouri, DeLay's successor as majority leader, faced ethics questions himself.
Records on file with the Federal Election Commission show that since 2003, Blunt's political action committee has paid $94,000 in salary to the consulting firm of Jim Ellis, a longtime associate of DeLay. Ellis has been indicted in the same case as DeLay, for allegedly conspiring to illegally influence the outcome of Texas legislative elections by channeling corporate money to Republican candidates.
I mean, really, is there no limit to the number and and the sleeziness of these people? A truly fine example these "leaders" set for the rest of us, the scumbags.
One hopes that Ronnie Earl's inditments can cast a wide enough net that a few more trash fish can be hauled aboard.
