Another New Congressman Goes to Washington

Elizabeth Scalia, over at the First Things blog,♠ wrote about Congressman Elect Allen West going to Washington to get his Freshman Orientation.

As you may recall, as Lieutenant Colonel West he was fined $5,000 for threatening a captured Iraqi insurgent, leading the insurgent to divulge that an attack was planned for the next day.  Colonel West then resigned his commission.

I wonder if Congressman Elect Allen West will be invited to join the Congressional Black Caucus?  My guess is that the Caucus will stick by its invitation to the two newly elected Black Republicans in the US House of Representatives, one of them being Allen West.
