There was no conflict of interest when Scalia and Thomas voted to stop the Florida recount. There was no conflict of interest in having as a co-chair of your campaign the Florida Sec. of State and your brother as governor of said state. There's no conflict of interest in having as your VP a former CEO of an oil services giant that's raking in billions from the Iraq war. And there's no conflict of interest here, either. That's just liberal facts and common sense disguised as bi-partisan politics.<BR/><BR/>And, hasn't anyone thought of how flimsy and ridiculous the "show no outward sign of conflict of interest" House rule is? That's saying, in essence, Keep the fucking envelope under the table.<BR/><BR/>And DeLay can't even do *that*.jurassicporkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01673461210301442978noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10704819.post-1114714356297360022005-04-28T11:52:00.000-07:002005-04-28T11:52:00.000-07:00what a beautifully rounded irony this story define...what a beautifully rounded irony this story defines. you couldn't make it up. and the greatest thing is that <I>they don't think that there's a problem</I>. and i bet they believe that, too.<BR/><BR/>why do politicians have to have an ironyectomy when they're elected?Andyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10064855305042230736noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10704819.post-1114700171197483672005-04-28T07:56:00.000-07:002005-04-28T07:56:00.000-07:00There used to be a handful of non-Delay Repubs on ...There used to be a handful of non-Delay Repubs on the committee, but guess what?
