Change Party?

I was surprised and delighted when Alcee Hastings was not given the chairmanship of the Intelligence Committee by Nancy Pelosi. I remember only too well how he embezzled funds when he was a judge in South Florida. Also, she has leaned toward not giving Alan Mollahan of Virginia the chairmanship of the Ethics Committee, a guy who enriched himself by 12 to 25 million in four years of House membership. She says she will stop much of the privately funded travel of which ten democrats are at the top of the list. In addition, she says she will stop "earmarks" (I want to see the bridge-to-no-where in Washington State proposed by Stevens dropped) which the Republicans used to buy votes. Hurray for Nancy, keep up this ethical push and I may become a Democrat.

  • Yes, hurray Nancy Pelosi! It sounds like she's getting everything off on the right foot, even though I guess technically she's not Speaker until January. Hopefully she can help fix this ditch the government is in, but we shall see in time. Barbara Walters has already dubbed her "the most interesting person of 2006," so maybe that will be a sign of things to come???

  • Marcel,
    Just listen to Rush a few days. You will be cured of all those thoughts about defecting to the Dems.

  • While I would love to lure Uncle Marcel over to my team, I don't think you need to worry about losing one more Uncle John.

    BTW, happy birthday Grandpa (oops, Uncle Marcel).
