Just how tangled up in Tom DeLay's
House of Scandal is Gil Gutknecht?
Gil Gutknecht      
# Gil Gutknecht has taken $5,778 from Tom DeLay's ARMPAC. No surprise that Gutknecht voted with Tom DeLay 91% of the time between Jan. 1 2004 and March 31 2005.

Is this the kind of government-for-hire that working families deserve?

# Gil Gutknecht voted to weaken the ethics rules in a move that many say served only to protect Tom DeLay.

Does the integrity of the House mean so little that Gil Gutknecht would sacrifice it to defend Tom DeLay?

# When Republicans realized it was "impossible to win the communications battle" over the gutted ethics rules, Gutknecht flip-flopped and voted to put the old rules back into place.

So Gil Gutknecht cares about the integrity of the House after all -- when cable news is covering it.

# When Democrats offered a solution to clean up the House by strengthening ethics rules, Gil Gutknecht voted twice to make sure it never even came to an up or down vote.
