Conservative columnist Paul Weyrich writes that some of Seventh District Congressman Roy Blunt's fellow Congressmen lied to him last week when they told him they were fully behind his candidacy for majority leader.
Weyrich's column suggests that some members felt Blunt should have resigned as majority whip before the election and perhaps should do so now, then reemerge later as a candidate for Speaker of the House when Dennis Hastert steps down.
Finally, the column indicates it should be a bumpy ride ahead for the GOP House leadership since Blunt and the man who beat him, John Boehner, do not particularly like each other, but will have to work together as majority whip and majority leader.
