Roy Blunt new Republican Majority Leader

[JohnnyCougar]

No big surprise.

1. Just great.

Another feather in the cap for all Missourians.
We do actually have some decent politicians. Really, we do.

[hatrack]

2. That I should live to see such a day. Gosh, I feel four feet tall.

:puke:

[evlbstrd]

4. 2006 can't come soon enough.

[hatrack]

6. Blunt is ten pounds in a five pound bag

And Matt is, at best, a half-pint milk container straining under the same smelly load.

Thomas Hart Benton? Harry Truman? Clarence Cannon? Fare thee well, gentlemen. Horseman, pass by.

[evlbstrd]

8. Claire for Senate!

[MoJoWorkin]

3. Blunt is NOT one of those "decent" ones

He is my "Rep" from one of the most Conservative/Fundie places in the USA. Since Assembly of God moved their HQ here, no Dem can get elected garbage collector---no matter how Jebus-like they may be.
What underhanded crap he didn't know before, he has been learning at DeLay's knee. His son is the Governor of MO, and the nepotism runs deep in the state.

5. No, "Governor" Blunt is the Rep's son.

But you're right about the rest.

[MoJoWorkin]

13. I said that Roy's son was the Gov

[evlbstrd]

14. My bad.

I'm being dyslexic today.

[MadHound]

7. On the behalf of all Missourians, I must apologize, again

We really, really do have some fine and wonderful people in this state. But sadly, under this corrupt administration, all of our shit seems to be floating to the top. Please, please don't judge us all by the likes of our worst reps, Ashcroft, Blunt and Bond.

[nadinbrzezinski]

9. Well well so we go from a tyrant from sugarland

to one from MO... lesson of the story, the GOP is full of tyrants...

10. Oh Joy, Oh Rapture

Well, it's another proud day to be a Missourian.

Jesus, the R's never quit. They just replace one corrupt asshole with another. Well, I'll try to be an optimist. Maybe Blunt will be indicted for something too. And as long as I have the rose colored glasses on maybe his dumb ass son will be chased down the street by former Medicaid patients carrying pitchforks and torches.

[deadparrot]

11. As a Missourian, I say: Run. Hide.

:hide:

[Seansky]

12. What real impact is he going to have with so much bad news

coming their way?

[Joyce78]

15. Is Blunt to share with Dreier in leadership?

I thought that's what CNN reported a little time ago. Has Hastert now determined that Blunt has temporary majority leadership? Where is Blair's son in this mess ... do Dreier and Blunt share him?
Edit
Isn't Tony Blair's son working for (or under, who knows) David Dreier R-CA?
