Whoops. As soon as I go and spend so much time talking about David Dreier, Dennis Hastert picks someone else. Thanks so much, Dennis.

Anyway, the new guy, Roy Blunt, doesn't yet have a "look what a John Roberts-esque guy this is!" story up anywhere yet, but his official website touts his close loyalty to the administration (he was on Bush 2000's exploratory committee and the campaign's liaison to the House of Representatives) and his ability to "work through the night" to fight for Bush's stupid tax cuts. Oh, and trade promotion is big on his website.

One other difference from Dreier. Blunt is married with kids.

And one of his kids (Amy) lives in Kansas City! His website doesn't say anything about her odor however. - Kansas City fan

Blunt IS married, but not to "The Corpse Bride," which Meg and I are off to see in an hour. - Proud UT Father

"The Corpse Bride" is a delight. Burton's movies are just a LOT of fun to watch. The music is Gilbert and Sullivanesque. - The Corpse Husband in UT

Harriet Meirs isn't married; according to NPR she is a "workaholic." Hmmmm. I sent a second birthday present to you today via your uncle. - GUY
