Never mind. I'll give you a bigger hint...
Well, as is so often the case with the Bush team, reality has simply outrun mockery. -- S. Brennan
Expanding Team Bush to include the House GOP Steering Committee, you can't fit that sentiment much better than this. They need to replace Doolittle on the Appropriations committee due to the embarassment of his being under investigation by the FBI (Abramoff related). So they chose to replace him with Ken Calvert who's under investigation by the FBI. Go figger.
Actually, I'm not sure why they thought they needed to replace Doolittle. After all, the ranking member of the Appropriations committee, Jerry Lewis, is also under investigation. Co-incidentally, all three are California Republicans.
All three are also on CREW's (Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington) 20 most corrupt congress members list. (That must have been hard to narrow down. And, by the way, 3 of the 20 are Democrats.)
Some things never change.
It could probably be shown by facts and figures that there is no distinctly native American criminal class except Congress. --Mark Twain
