politics: Rep. Shadegg, or, how to stumble upwards by being Tom DeLay's butt-boy
It seems that toeing the party line with a ruthless and single-minded determination is vastly more successful as a career strategy than having vision, leadership ability or integrity.
From Phoenix Business Journal:
Phoenix Congressman John Shadegg has been tapped by his Republican congressional colleagues to serve as House GOP Policy Committee Chairman.
Lord, how I want him out of office. He represents none of the values of any of his constituents I've ever met. Except Joe's best friend. And, well, even with him, Shadegg represents his politics rather than his values. But that's a whole 'nother conversation.

I wonder... Is Tom a constituent? I'm fuzzy on the boundaries.
That's a good question. I'd assumed, but one shouldn't assume ...
Incidentally, did you hear the bit about this appointment putting AZ psycho-Republicans in charge of the policy committees in BOTH the House AND the Senate (the latter being chaired by our delightful Sen. Kyl). If I didn't harbor such disdain and fear for what these horrible men might do, I'd otherwise be happy to see AZ in such a nice position. Alas, disdain and fear remain.
