DeLay Hack In Charge of FEC

Not promising.

This morning, a full six members of the Federal Election Commission took their seats and announced they were back after a strange, seven-month hiatus. In their first official action, the commission elected a new chairman, Donald McGahn, who previously served as the lead lawyer for the House Republicans' campaign committee and handled legal work for former House Majority Leader Tom DeLay (R-Texas).

For all I know, the guy might be a straight shooter who will honestly assess the facts. But let's be honest -- anyone who worked for the Exterminator is probably just as much a cockroach as his criminal former boss.

I'd love to be proven wrong. We'll see.
