Meet The New Boss...


Today, the House handed Tom Delay his most humilating defeat in a long string of humiliating defeats when it selected John Boehner instead of Delay's hand-picked man, Roy Blunt, (R-Ohio) as the House Majority Leader. Boehner was elected in an attempt to create the impression of a new clean beginning for the House leadership.

Well, not so fast.... It seems Mr. Boehner was on the lobbying Gravey Train:

The new boss is the same as the old boss, when it comes to ethics.
