Well, it seems that too many bloggers applauded too loudly in favor of Hastert’s initial call for Dreier to succeed Tom DeLay — and now have selected House Majority Whip Roy Blunt to succeed the indicted DeLay.
Dreier will get to play part-time helm-holder these next few months though in a special deal cut with Hastert and Blunt.
DeLay is still out — very out, and that is great.
