DeLay has a new job, Appropriations Subcommittee Chair

Which subcommitte will Tom DeLay chair?

Subcommittee on Science, the Departments of State, Justice, and Commerce, and Related Agencies

Talking Points Memo: by Joshua Micah Marshall February 8, 2006 08:35 PM: "There was a seat free on Appropriations because Duke Cunningham had to give up his seat.

"No, you can't make this stuff up.

"Oh, I forgot, his new [sub]committee controls the DOJ purse stings too."

DeLay will be in charge of Justice Appropriations; Bush has appointed the guy in charge of the Abramoff investigation to a Federal judgeship.

If Nixon had only known how to cover up his crimes . . .
