Incoming White House Chief of Staff Josh Bolten is said to be leaning toward selecting an outsider with strong fiscal conservative credentials to take his spot as director of the Office of Management and Budget, according to some insiders.

"It would be a savvy move," said one official. Previous reports from the West Wing were that Bolten would pick an insider for the post, possibly Deputy OMB Director Joel Kaplan; Al Hubbard, director of the National Economic Council; or trade czar Rob Portman. But new indications are that Bolten might use the opening to send Congress a signal that he means business when he says the president wants to cut costs.

"This job gives him the ability to curry favor with Congress," said one insider. Sources said that he is considering former and current House members for the post. One associate even suggested that retiring Rep. Tom DeLay was being considered, though the most likely pick would be from a conservative budget association.

is a slimy corporate whore.

5. HA! That would truely be funny! It would spread the corruption a little

closer to the WH, and he sure would have a lot of comiserators to cry with while they're all IN JAIL!!!!

8. what is it about the g.o.p?...

why do they keep recycling these corrupt assholes?

9. That is fucking HYSTERICAL!!!!!

It won't happen, though. They probably floated his name as a small favor, so that the stupid clowns on K Street still think he has a little juice. Hell, by the time he got halfway through his turn-over file, he'd have to take leave to answer his indictments.

10. It HAS to be a member of the Bush Crime Family in order to cover up their

criminal activities. This is the problem when you are so corrupt, you can't go outside the group of criminals you work with, and the pool's getting smaller.
