News Item: Alcee Hastings Will Not Chair Intelligence Committee, Pelosi Announces.
A good move, I'd say, since it doesn't speak well of the Democrats if such a key post is held by someone who was impeached from a federal judgeship. And yes, I know it appears Pelosi is bungling things either, but remember- the session hasn't even started yet. This is the preseason. Wait until the Congress is actually seated before you come to any conclusions.
Sure, there's some ugliness - heck, the Republicans nearly had an internal coup when Bill Paxon tried to oust Newt Gingrich. You get all of this crap out of the way, and get to governing once January 3 rolls around.
