Title: Nancy Pelosi ... Thought she ran on anti-scandal?

Nancy Pelosi … Madame Speaker … Are you really “ready to govern?”

Why would anyone make their first order of business and damage their credibility and power as speaker back someone like Murtha where Nancy Pelosi railed during the midterm elections about political  and lobbyist scandals? It would seem Nancy Pelosi cares little about political scandal, only if its Republican. Is that what people voted for?

I Nancy only worried about Republicans scandals? I think we can all agree that scndal knows no party ... its an individual issue prevelent on both sides. Too bad Pelosi does not see this issue in a bi-partisan manner.

If the Democrats want to be a serious force in cleaning up Washington’s corruption, Murtha can not be the Majority leader of the House. It is that simple.

And if they do want to keep this up, I have a feeling the American public will realize a chastised Republican party may be for them in 2008.

Dear Red,

Can you explain what the scandal was about?  Do you mean her wanting her friend Murtha to be the Majority leader of the House? Such as JFK wanting his brother to be Attorney General? This is not uncommon.

Pelosi's scandal will be on the back burner within several days.

With respect,
Louise

Oh, the Runaway Bride of Congress will never be on the back burner.  This is only simmering.

So true...and someone should have warned her about too much BOTOX, however I have to say that my biggest fear for our country right now is another mistake like the Presidential Election of 1976 - and the ensuing years.  Seems like no one wants to admit there was a misery index... it scares me.
