Forget the Mollohan investigation

Forget that investigation of Mollohan. He now chairs the subcommittee that oversees the FBI budget. Some swamps are drained, others are protected wetlands.

Murtha chairs the subcommittee overlooking the defense budget. His brother will be lining up the suitors on K Street.

But Instapundit pointed out: “Jim Moran seems to be paying the price for his pre-election pork promise that: ‘When I become chairman [of a House appropriations subcommittee], I’m going to earmark the shit out of it.’ ”

Sometimes shit doesn’t happen. Moran was passed over as a chairman.

The best news for taxpayers is from the Aberdeen News: Tim Johnson will head an appropriations subcommittee. He won’t be able to spend any money from a hospital bed. He is now my favorite senator.

The less they do in Congress, the more freedom and money I keep.

UPDATE: Thanks for the link, Instapundit.
