"I'm not interested. I'm sorry," he said, adding: "You know, we do business for a while, maybe I'll be interested, maybe I won't."

THEY LEFT OUT: "at this time"!!!!

[W04Man]

We've got to keep the pressure on "IN COLD BLOOD" Murtha!

Ping!

I can't blame her for being a Democrat. That's how they act. I also don't understand why somebody else in the party is not challenging her for the position of Speaker of the House. Is that an annual election, or does it hold for the entire term of Congress? Maybe that somebody is waiting for next year.

[RangerM]

I don't know, but I'm glad she's there.

She's an asset to us as long as she's in charge. She along with Conyers, Boxer, Levin, et al are our best hope for regaining power in '08.

Personally, I think we should defend her decision to back Murtha. I say we give her and the rest of the Dem leadership absolutely as much rope as they need.

[Dallas59]

She'a Socialist and it's time to start exposing her past...

Resign, no apology

"Is that an annual election, or does it hold for the entire term of Congress?"

I think the election is for the entire term. However, If the Speaker decides to resign, there is another election to find a new Speaker.

I am more interested in how the MSM will continue to keep the lid on the fact that Murtha was, is and always will be a corrupt member of the US House of Representatives, Majority Leader or not. He has been in Congress for over 32 years and at no time during his tenure, did anyone in the DEMOCRATIC Party consider him leadership material. This whole thing is going to explode in their faces before long.

Bump! Anybody know if this made the local press in Murtha's district?

Nancy must have a "thing" for the "ethically challenged"...Murtha and Alcee Hastings...now there's a pair.

"I also don't understand why somebody else in the party is not challenging her for the position of Speaker of the House."

Watch and wait. Pelosi's backing of Murtha for majority leader is a slap in the face to Steny Hoyer, an old line machine politician from Maryland.

Steny has been in politics as long as I can remember and he knows political machinations cold.

It would not surprise me if he went after Pelosi's job as speaker (they detest each other) and knowing him, he could pull it off.

I just checked the Tribune-Democrat in Johnstown, and not a single article about Pelosi.

[sgtbono2002]

Any American with a mind. (I guess that leaves out Americans who voted for Democrats this year) knows that her promise to have an ethical house was an inside joke.

Pelosi starts right off naming unindicted co-conspirators to head up the party. Political Payoffs will rule for a while . The people of PA, had their chance to send an ethical person to washington,( a good looiking one too), but they passed it by for this guy Murtha who takes bribes. That says a lot about Pa, voters.

Good one!

[RedRover]

Excellent!

[OldFriend]

CSPAN reading an article listing the ethics complaints against Murtha this morning. Who would have believed it!

Further, I actually heard a talking head ask if the voters were already having buyer's remorse.

Wonder if they finally realize the civilized world is in grave danger from the likes of Conyers, Leahy, Pelosi, Murtha, etc.

[when the time is right]

I am hoping Nancy will be the poster girl for why we don't want Hillary as President. Maybe after 2 years of her shrill, screeching voice coupled with her rabid liberal agenda, the voters will get the message.

[RoadTest]

She's even too far left (and corrupt) for her own party!

"Nancy must have a "thing" for the "ethically challenged"...Murtha and Alcee Hastings...now there's a pair."

I'n vague on the details, but a few months ago there was an item about Pelosi and Murtha in a cozy real-estate deal in California, involving a conflict of interests. She and John have things going under the table.

Anybody have that article at hand?
