The White House is looking at a list of cost-cutting candidates to head the Office of Management and Budget, and Rep. Tom DeLay, R-Texas, may be on it. The former House majority leader, who announced he will resign from Congress and is under a state indictment on political money laundering charges, is listed as a possible replacement for Josh Bolten, the U.S. News and World Report said. Bolten has been named incoming White House chief of staff.

It would be great to see the Dems fume and spume over DeLay again. Stop, I'm getting too excited.
You said it, friend.
Brass cohones. It reminds me of the movie Casino when the gov. of Nevada was trying to keep his nephew working for Sam "DeNiro" Rothstein.
"Perhaps there's something he could do a little lower down the trough?"
Delay and budgets do not belong in the same sentence. This is a bad move!!!
Kind of like the current family dynasty of corruption in Nevada .... The Reids.
Current true story of corruption
vs
movie on story of corruption
Umm, wouldn't it make sense to wait and see if he's convicted or acquitted?
Yeah, ranks right up there with nominating Harriet Miers as a brilliant idea.
I don't believe so, it's an appointed position ??
I may be / probably am wrong.
It should be an easy job for DeLay, what with there being nothing left to cut from the budget.
recess appointment?
You mean like..
you're doing a good job 'Brownie'
just before
You've got no job ?
LOL....I'm sure before he could take that job, he'd have to complete this trial in Texas. Of course, Tom will be found NOT GUILTY or the case could be thrown out. It's time for someone to look at this in Texas with the authority and get the damn thing thrown out.
the headline should read Rooster Put In Charge of Henhouse. Maybe if Delay declines, Ted Stevens could take it.
It would indicate a complete unseriousness on the part of the administration about cutting the budget, since Mr. Delay thinks that there's no fat left.
That's pretty funny -- Tom "Pork Barrel" Delay in charge of the OMB. This is a joke, right?
Do you think The Hammer would do double duty as White House press spokesman?
That's the Boston State House reflected in those brass balls. They must have been here for a visit, because there haven't been any indiginous in this state since Henry Cabot Lodge Sr. died!
