WASHINGTON - 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.

"Allowing Tom DeLay to sit on a committee in charge of giving out money is like putting Michael Brown back in charge of FEMA — Republicans in Congress just can't seem to resist standing by their man," said Bill Burton, spokesman for the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee.

1. This is beyond disgusting

I have no words or feelings left to describe these people.

2. Apparently, according to Josh Marshall, the seat DeLay was given...

was the one that Randy "Duke" Cunningham had to give up.

There are no words to describe these Republican slimeballs.

5. So much for the Republicans' "reform" measures.........

"let's give the fox the key to the hen-house again" is NOT what I'd call solid reform. :eyes: Of course we're dealing with Republicans here so why should I expect anything different?
If the American people can't see what's happening in our country, if they refuse to DO anything about it, then they deserve the coming fascist state they'll be living in. Myself........I'll be long gone. I will not live in a country so apathetic.

6. Another "In Your Face" Moment

Man, they are SO good at those. One zinger after another with no shame or remorse. I keep thinking it can't get any worse, but it does.
