She could always give him the chair of the Judiciary Committee...

A voice of reason fromt the mildly conservative Tampa Tribune editorial board. I'm not optimistic that their advice will be followed, but at least a fairly major Florida daily is out their with a plea for some common sense.

Doesn't there still have to be a vote on Pelosi? Can't the pubbies come up with a more moderate Democrats name who actually represents mid-America, not like the TeleTubbies from Aldebaran or something?

Jeez, even SNL was taking shots at her last night. And most hit the mark. Can't we at least make this an uphill battle?

[sausageseller]

Rats turning on themselves already! LOL

[ASOC]

Dunno

Sound like another Bill CLinton railroad job to me /s.

I would note the Senate that impeached the man was controlled by the Dems.

Another question, if this guy was wiling to take bribes then, what is he up to now? And for the truly paranoid, do you see any visitors from China in his future?

If Nasty Nancy appoints this congresscritter, currently the House Minority Whip, to the Chair, she *will* be sending a strong message - and it ain't Army Strong, if you know what I mean.

Someone from the Southland, please tell me that his earlier criminal activities was a frame up by Cubans or something....

Nancy Pelosi is nutsie enough to give it to him.

Jane Harmon's office was the source of the intelligence leaks. She should be prosecuted, not made chairman of the committee.

[SittinYonder]

This is ideal. Just what I want to see from Nancy Pelosi. Put Hastings in. Put Rangel in.

I want to see Big Daddy Bird as head of appropriations in the Senate. I want Kerry and Kennedy in powerful positions in the Senate. And please, Harry Reid, for the love of all that's good and holy, let Senator Clinton have all the power you can give her.

I want the voice of the Democrats to ring loud and clear for the next two years. It's the best thing that could happen for our side.

To even consider him should remove consideration of San Fran Nan as Speaker.

If Pelosi attempts this, Jane Harman can use her influence to garner sufficient Blue-dog democrats to support an alternative for Speaker. Ms. Harman would have the support of the republicans.

Please note: Ms Harman is the wealthiest Representative, by far! (Harman sound system...)

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jane_Harman
"Harman is currently the ranking member of the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, and is also a member of the Blue Dog Coalition."

What's the Tampa Tribune Editorial Board got against democrat crooks? So he takes a bribe here and there - tinks with the evidence - acts like a scumbag... He's a dem! I thought all dems got passes -- right?

[John Lenin]

Harman is my rep and she was a pretty good one until the classified leak came out from her office. Maybe the RATS set her up for a fall by leaking?

[Bommer]

go Nancy GO! Show us how your going to clean up Republican crony-ism by appointing an impeached Democrap crony!

[ShawTaylor]

Pelosi has promised under her leadership the most ethical, honest Congress ever

Yep..by having Alcee Hastings as House Intelligence Committee chairman.
This is going to be fun come 2008.
