In response to Republicans complaining that they didn't get as many members to the House Appropriations Committee than they wanted, Frank Chopp has decided to give them a reason to quit whining. Chopp is adding two more Republicans to the appropriations committee, according to what he said this morning on KUOW's Weekday.

Whacky Nation blog covers the GOP hyperventalation earlier on, and Carl smacks him down.

Chopp did not reflect on how their electoral loss has left them with less members actually elected, and therefor less members to have on committees, including fun ones like appropriations.

Rep. Richard Debolt, leader of the minority said in response (I kid you not): "That's awesome." I agree, it is like totally sweet for Chopp to do that. He's cool like that though.
