If anyone can Tivo this - I WOULD LOVE IT.

Looking put off and uncomfortable, Randy continues to state, "This was an 'above the board' transaction." Sure. Waaaaay above board... Way above the board... of the House Ethics Committe.

Now, it starting to make sense about the contributions to Tom DeLay... Back scratching....

Meanwhile, in the House of Representatives - Tom DeLay continues his attempt to declaw the already toothless House Ethics Committee. They want to change the rules on who is to sit on and head the committee. They are pushing to have a Republican "share" the chair with the Democrat. This is not how it has worked in the past. The party of opposition generally holds the chair to the House Ethics committee, but has bi-partisan members. Again, DeLay attempts to push new rules that will further keep the probes pointed in the wrong direction.

Politics, ain't it fun!??!

Update: Story from New York Times talks about the Ethics Committee and how DeLay is pushing for a co-chair for investigations.
