DeLay Lands Coveted Appropriations Spot

WASHINGTON Feb 8, 2006 (AP)--Indicted Rep. Tom DeLay, forced to step down as the No. 2 Republican in the House, scored a soft landing Wednesday as GOP leaders rewarded him with a coveted seat on the Appropriations Committee.

DeLay, R-Texas, also claimed a seat on the subcommittee overseeing the Justice Department, which is currently investigating an influence-peddling scandal involving disgraced lobbyist Jack Abramoff and his dealings with lawmakers. The subcommittee also has responsibility over NASA a top priority for DeLay, since the Johnson Space Center is located in his Houston-area district.

UN-FRICKIN-BELIEVABLE ::Q

It's not more corruption, since it's all part of the same huge Ball of corruption.

Rolling over a nation near you soon!

:thumbsup:
 
It;s an exchange of crooks, one for another:


DeLay was able to rejoin the powerful Appropriations panel he was a member until becoming majority leader in 2003 because of a vacancy created after the resignation of Randy "Duke" Cunningham, R-Calif. Cunningham pleaded guilty in November to charges relating to accepting $2.4 million in bribes for government business and other favors.
 
Appropriations? You mean like CASH DISBURSEMENT COMMITTEE << is that correct?

If they won't even punish their own then how can we ever have justice in this country..

Yep--just like putting the town serial bank robber in charge of the bank's vaults.

 
There is a reason why mr bush panders to the fundies.. they don't have any reasoning ability.. Nobody should allow a man who is being investigating for money laundering to be the head of the money..

This is why I told you I hate all politicians.. they are all disgusting criminals.. could you imagine going to work on the hill with scum like this all around you? makes my stomach ill

QFT! :|

I don't know how much good it will do, but I just phoned my Congressman's office to give him a direct link to the story.

It's a classic case of putting the fox in charge of guarding the hen house. :|
 
Wrote my Rep also. Not that it will do any good with him being a party good ole boy from Mississippi. But, at least I am trying to put a finger in the *** (unfortunately, not the good kind 😉 )

Good idea. 🙂
 
Holy crap, YOU HAVE TO BE KIDDING ME!!! :|


Is there no end to this bullsh!t?? Unbelievable. I'm so disgusted by these crooks.
 
So let me get this straight.

Delay is on the subcommittee overseeing the Justice Department,

The Justice Dept is investigating a scandal disgraced lobbyist Jack Abramoff,

Jack Abramoff is connected to Delay in his indictments.

And no one in the Repub party thinks there is clash of interest?:Q

Or did Delay win a 'get out of jail free' card?

makes me :|




 
I guess they will be able to argue it is vital to nation security that he receives work release 🙂
 
The revolving door of Republican party corruption. Randy leaves, Tom enters, the dance goes on and on.
