Eighty-year old Congressman Ralph Hall of Texas switched parties because, as he put it,
House Appropriations Committee Chairman Ralph Regula zeroed out all spending in his district because he was a Democrat.
Regula apparently killed funds for road projects and $13M for UT Tyler in Hall's district.
No denials from the Republicans yet, but the article quotes Bush and Haastert as saying they're thrilled to have him.
