Pelosi rips Tauzin a new one...

House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) came out very strongly against fellow lawmaker, Billy Tauzin (R-LA) - often linked to House Majority Leader and former exterminator Tom ("I AM the government," he informed a security guard trying to get him to put out a cigar on the same federal property where the rest of us would be arrested) DeLay (R-TX) - for considering a $1 million a year consulting job with a pharmaceutical industry firm. This so soon after Tauzin helped push through a Medicare drug bill that profits pharm cos far more than senior citizens.

Having heard Tauzin speak, I would think the only drug company job he'd be qualified for is telling Rush (30 Oxycontin a day and anything else he can find) Limbaugh he's not an addict.
