Yup, he couldn't be trusted with writing tax policy and got dumped from Ways & Means. Then he was re-elected and now Pelosi thinks he can be trusted with the nation's top secrets.
By the way, what was his "telecommunications deal in Africa"? Writing letters about the Nigerian lottery to the US voters list?

I don't know, but he's not a senator, he's a congressman, give Louisiana a break, they already have one disgraced senator.
