Just When You Thought The Republicans Couldn't Get Any Deeper In Slime

Legislator's law firm has asbestos ties - Nixon set to introduce asbestos bill tonight

According to an article by W. Gardner Selby in the AMERICAN-STATESMAN, a Texas legislator, Rep. Joe Nixon, R-Houston, is proposing legislation that limits lawsuits by people exposed to asbestos. This while he started working in February for a law firm that defends companies against people that sue because of exposure to asbestos!

With leadership like "Hot Tub Tom" DeLay, "Hospital" Bill Frist, George "Saudi" Bush, and Dick "Haliburton" Cheney, what else could we have expected?

Of course, Nixon says "his private interests don't drive his work as a legislator".

It's just a coincidence! Yeah, right. "Pay no attention to man behind the curtain!"The Slimey Details
