[orleans]

2. i thought i just heard hastert the hulk saying they just voted

for roy blunt to take delay's place.

[gratuitous]

3. Too many skeletons in his, er, closet?

Hee, hee, hee. I crack myself up sometimes.

[MADem]

9. There is only ONE skeleton, and he is well fleshed out

and living with Drier in his apartment, AND on the payroll to boot!! His name is Brad, and he makes one of the best staffer salaries on the Hill...

How nice that he has the run of the place, and is not confined to the closet alone....

[deadparrot]

4. Haven't you heard? He's a gaybo.

Can't have any of that, now can we?

:sarcasm:

[longship]

6. Apparently the Repugs found out he was gay.

They didn't want to piss off their base by appointing an outted gay Rep.

[MADem]

5. Think he was on the list of corrupt congressmen

LA TIMES carried the story....

[acmejack]

7. Blunt is the Whip

Drier is chairmen of the rules committee, so the job by rights is Blunts.

[sinkingfeeling]

8. He's the guy that tried to sneak something into the Homeland

Security bill for Philip Morris back in 2003. He's Chairman of the Gas Price Task Force (?) He's basically, Tom Delay, Jr.

[MoJoWorkin]

11. One of 13 most corrupt in congress---

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.

12. what he stands for......not us................

13. Dreier still scheduled to replace DeLay, but...

...it looks like Blunt may be Dreier's "handler."

[electropop]

17. Isn't "Brad" handling Dreier?

:evilgrin:

[derby378]

18. ROFL!

:rofl:

[AllegroRondo]

14. And he is tied to tobacco companies

his wife is chief legislative strategist for Altria Group, Inc., who own Phillip Morris. His son is a lobbyist for tobacco companies.

[sinkingfeeling]

15. Didn't he divorce his wife to marry her?

[MoJoWorkin]

16. Yes, but the most of the "good Christian" people in SW MO

Either don't even know that, or would "forgive" him anything, as he is a professed Christian man :puke:

[kweerwolf]

Given the choice between a 'mo and a corrupt politician, guess who the Repugnantcans will pick?
