Wants to Republican Majority Leader
On Friday the 13th, Shadegg threw his metaphorical hat into the ring to become Republican Majority Leader in the U.S. House. "I believe that we need a clean break from the scandals of the recent past," he said. Recent past? Not so fast there Rep. Shadegg. Apparently you were referring to the present scandals plaguing your party. A little too quick to sweep this disaster under the rug aren't you? Other contenders for the position of Republican Majority Leader against frontrunner Missouri Rep. Roy Blunt is Ohio Rep. John Boehner. Both Blunt and Boehner have received campaign money from organizations represented by Jack Abramoff. Source: Richard Cowan. "Rep. Shadegg Joins House Leadership Race." Reuters. Janurary 13, 2006.
