Elsewhere, James Ridgeway writes in the Village Voice that Roy Blunt, the likely successor to Tom Delay as House Majority Leader, has received more than $125,000 in campaign contributions from UPS and FedEx. Blunt returned the favor by “sticking a proviso into the Iraq emergency appropriations bill… meant to block foreign competitors of UPS and FedEx from getting a toehold in the profitable wartime postal business”.
