1. And did anyone actually think things would change?

Not gonna happen with this gang.

[stop the bleeding]

2. this guy is connected to lobbyist in every way but Sunday

3. He's corrupt to the core.

Did you see him on MTP on Sunday trying to defend his trips to luxury resorts paid by lobbyists? Hysterical.

4. they say his rent is the same but what about the perks...

[rpgamerd00d]

5. His wife is a lobbyist. And his son. And his daughter.

And his landlord.

PERFECT REPLACEMENT for DeLay to clean up the corruption in the Repub party !!!

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

8. He even got his landlord a job?

Goodness! That is one corrupt guy. I don't think Tom DeLay even did that! He kept it all in the family!

6. Saw Boehner on MTP. Meet the new boss, same as the old boss.

One slick sob.

7. Oh I'm so surprised

I thought they were going to "clean up" things!!! You mean he's tainted too?

:sarcasm:

No wonder they went with this guy. He's just like Tom DeLay. They can have a "new face" but still the same old rules and connections. Now I know why my represenitive didn't get anywhere (Zach Wamp if you're wondering).
