Yeah, but he hates Bush - qualification #1 for being on Pelosi's leadership team.

"qualification for the job is that they look good on camera."

The end result of giving women the vote. The "cute" candidates win. And government morphs into "Sugar Daddy".

Its gonna be a long couple of years

It is going to be a lot longer than that. It took the Dems 12 years to regain it. We are not going to win the House back in two.

"You don't know how is on first."

Who is on first.

How isn't on the roster, but Rep. Reyes probably doesn't know that either.

Yeah, but the dumb ones are usually kept out of key committee jobs.

And it just underscores how unserious Democrats are about security. From among all of them, you'd think there'd be one who makes this one of a few specialties.

Democrats’ New Intelligence Chairman Needs a Crash Course on al Qaeda

Silvestre, as I'm sure most readers know, is the candidate chosen by Nancy Pelosi to bypass Jane Harmon. I’ve interviewed a number of his colleagues and top counterterrorism officials over the past several months. Silvestre can’t answer some fundamental questions about the powerful forces arrayed against us in the Middle East. It begs the question, of course: How can the Intelligence Committee do effective oversight of U.S. spy agencies when its leaders don’t know basics about the battlefield? http://public.cq.com/public/20061211_homeland.html

So are the voters who elect them!

"What 1950's Calypso singer went under the name "The Charmer"?"

Let me take a wild guess, not knowing the actual answer but gaining clues from the forum where the question is posted.

Would that be Calypso Louie?
