Say goodbye to either the loathsome Robert Wexler or the highly irritating Peter Deutsch

Inside Report: Florida retribution

WASHINGTON -- Florida Republican leaders, still smarting from aggressive assaults by two Democratic congressmen during the state's presidential vote recount, Reps. Robert Wexler and Peter Deutsch, are preparing to eliminate one of them. Although the state gains two more House seats as a result of the 2000 census, GOP legislative leaders intend to put Wexler and Deutsch in the same South Florida congressional district.

A footnote: Republican Florida House Speaker Tom Feeney, who infuriated Democrats during the recount, intends to carve out a congressional district for himself. Ginny Brown-Waite, Republican president pro tem of the State Senate, also would like her own congressional seat.
