p. 270 DeLay made Denny Hastert Speaker and Roy Blunt majority whip. Both men were his assistants when he served as whip. "He is the first majority leader in the history of the Congress to decide who holds every position in the leadership, including his own."

If I had to guess, I'd say Blunt would be more of the same garbage. And, if I had to guess, I'd say Blunt may not have been cleanly elected to the US House anyway.
