A Swamp Less Rancid

Former Republican heavyweight Tom DeLay argued in his blog today that Nancy Pelosi's willingness to put William Jefferson (of $90,000 in the freezer fame) on the Homeland Security Committee meant that she wasn't "draining the swamp" of Congressional corruption as she promised.

But isn't the swamp a lot less rancid now that DeLay himself with his indictment for using illegal corporate contributions, two staff members with guilty pleas, and multiple ethics citations is out of Congress.

Duke Cunningham, Bob Ney, and Mark Foley are gone as well.

Maybe Pelosi doesn't have to do so much draining after all.

DeLay doesn't have two employees with guilty please. Two former employees plead guilty to crimes COMPLETLY un-related to him.

Get your facts straight professor.
