Anyone thinking there would be a new era ushered into the Capitol building with the indicted Tom DeLay out and Rep. Roy Blunt of Missouri in, is, well, sadly mistaken. From our DeLay Rankings [1]:

Blunt is a mini-DeLay:

• Voted with DeLay 96.25% of the time (2336 with, 91 against)
• Received $1,019 from ARMPAC
• Donated $20,000 to Tom DeLay Legal Expense Trust

Blunt ranked 24th of the 435 members of Congress, almost securing himself a spot in the top five percent,.
