"True. Those are the facts. It's also a fact that this is more than suspicious being a year out from the '06 elections."
Denny Hassert just recommended David Dryer (Chair of the Rules Committee) to take Delay's position.
Dryer...
After his shenanigans with regard to illegal immigration, no thanks.
He was asked to take a firm stand before his re-election. The guy was MIA. When confronted on the issue publicly, he did more hemming and hawing than I could stomach.
I think this means that Hastert views this as a temporary thing. Otherwise, I would have expected Roy Blunt (MO) to move up.
