Tom DeLay, Still Running the House

It's very clear from this that Tom DeLay is still operating in the House of Representatives as Majority Leader, indictments be damned! He was chief knee-capper inducing moderate Republicans to change their votes yesterday to pass the "Gasoline for America's Security Act of 2005" (see previous post down-thread).

Said Representative Sherwood Boehlert, moderate Republican of New York, who is chairman of the House Science Committee and who worked hard to defeat the bill because it (once again) shoves money at the already filthy rich oil companies: "We're enriching people, but we are not doing anything to give the little guy a break."

The only silver lining in all this malfeasance is that the Senate would also have to pass this piece of crap, which so far, at least, it shows no signs of doing.
