Does anyone else thinks its more than a little coincidence that Delay

Will take Cunninghams place on the appropriations committee? Maybe it isn't, they could all be crooks so it doesn't matter who they pick.
Splat!

DeLay Takes Over Cunningham’s Spot On Appropriations Committee
When DeLay announced his official resignation on Saturday, he also announced he was “reclaiming” his seat on the powerful Appropriations Committee.

Why is there a seat available? From the San Diego Union Tribune, 12/10/05:

A vacancy on the panel occurred earlier this week when Rep. Randy “Duke” Cunningham, R-Rancho Santa Fe, formally resigned from Congress after pleading guilty to charges that he accepted bribes from defense contractors.

Should be a smooth transition.

Peace.

7. Agree, it's a real shame. Delay should be planning his speech to a

Parole board, not what congressional committee he goes to. Well said.
