Why isn't there any coverage of DeLay's new appointments? Dam,

putting him on a committe to investigate influence-peddling. Haven't seen any coverage or other media attention on this. Can you imagine what the republicans would be doing, if you had this reversed, a democratic DeLay and the Dems turned around and put him on these committees.

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.

2. true, but the inneffective democrats should be screaming about this also

4. Yeah, that was what I was saying. Did'nt really expect the media

to do much unless forced to. However, thought the dems would be making some noise about this which would force the press to at least get it out there on the media.
