AZ Representative Shadegg joins race for majority leader
Shadegg is my Representative, and compared to other Republican AZ Congressional Reps has kept a relatively low profile.

Shadegg joins race for majority leader

"WASHINGTON - Arizona Rep. John Shadegg entered the race for House majority leader Friday, saying he would offer real, substantive ethics reforms in the wake of Republican scandals.

Shadegg shakes up the race for majority leader, which has been a contest between Missouri Rep. Roy Blunt and Ohio Rep. John Boehner. Embattled Majority Leader Tom DeLay, R-Texas, stepped down temporarily in September after he was indicted on charges of laundering campaign funds. DeLay announced Saturday that he would not try to regain the No. 2 House Republican leadership position.

Shadegg has said he doesn't have confidence that the two leading contenders for the position would help the House bring about enough meaningful reforms. Blunt, who has held been interim majority leader since fall, and Boehner both claim to have around 100 supporters, although they have not made all the names public.

3. Why isn't J. D. Southlimbaugh running?
He's a real manly man. A leading republican type. An arrogant, ignorant piece of crap, or is the new and improved gop going for a different look? I hope Shadegg throws a big wrench into the proceedings.

I don't mean to impugn the integrity of the Arizona congressional delegation. I'm a resident of Mississippi, I couldn't possibly do that but ole J. D. is an anal cyst on the ass of the congress.

4. He is, he used to be a sports caster. Time to go back to that, anywhere
but here.

Arizona definitely has some real "characters" in the delegation.

And then Kyl as one Senator.

:puke:

Hailey Barbour, yewww, wouldn't wish him on anyone. MS Gov?
