Internal fights? Oh boy! I hope the Democrats fight internally for the next four years -— wild dogs fighting over the kill.

What a picture for the electorate.

Dingell is done, he just doesn’t know it. Emanuel must not have gotten his phone number yet.

The buzzards are gathering around the body politic.

With the economy so bad, there are slim pickings.

In challenging Rep. Dingell, Rep. Waxman is seeking to upend a long Democratic Party tradition of assigning chairmanships based on seniority.

Waxman's through relying on his good looks to get ahead.

And it is said that “Pedicure” Waxman is very vindictive and eager to pursue criminal investigations of Bush.

Isn’t this like trading one dumbass congresscritter for another and still winding up with a bag of bad gas? I say let the demorats go on and kill each other and save our ammo for Pelosi and Reid.

Waxman represents the youth movement among congressional dems.

One of the best things Republicans did in '95 was term limit committee chairs. It's been Night of the Walking Dead the last two years watching the democrat fossils stumble back into power. Obama, unfortunately, is right in step with them; despite being a generation younger, he too seems to have learned nothing in 30 years.

Excerpt from the article linked at post #10:

*****************************

Jodi Seth, a Dingell spokeswoman, responded:

"Tearing a leadership apart is something the Republicans should be doing after their big loss. It shouldn't be the first order of business for the Democrats after a historic election."

Gotta love it!

Hillary is laying in wait to challenge Reid for Senate Leader. She’ll line up her allies and bide her time until the Reid-Pelosi tag team is near death, then she’ll pounce. Might be the next election, or sooner than that if the Congress-Senate poll numbers become more putrid than they are now.
