The Next Leader of the Ethically Challenged Republican Party???
Republicans are jumping over themselves after Tom DeLay announced his intention not to seek the House leadership position he once held. Two Reps. John Boehner (OH-8th) and Roy Blunt (MO-7th) have had their names tossed around in the media as a possible successor to DeLay.
Both Boehner and Blunt have some untidy connections to DeLay:
Boehner: Ethics Golf Fundraising Abramoff Scandal
Blunt: Ethics Philip Morris Corruption Abramoff Scandal
Lots of luck! Will the next Republican leader have ethics problems? We'll be waiting on the sidelines.
