Oh, okay, I thought he looked familiar. I wouldn’t count the Black Caucus out yet on this.
It becomes harder and harder for dems to please all of their different groups.

Did he try to raise taxes to 99% and triple spending in his first hour on the job?
Only for non union people
Levin on Ways and Means and Andy Stern on the supralegislative "deficit reduction panel"...can it get any better? Somewhere Jimmy Hoffa is smilin'. Now, if only the DOJ (Dept of Jihad) can get some more mafia lawyers busy rewriting anti-organized crime laws)

Ha-ha! That has to be shortest tenure as a Comittee Chair in American history.
I don't blame Pelosi for the decision though. Stark seems pretty close to certifiably insane.

WELL!! That certainly didn’t take long! I guess the Dhimmies realize how big of an unreasonable old SOB Pete Stark is after all....

One the few politically astute moves Pelosi has made as Speaker. I wonder who put her up to it?
Stark is a loose cannon with a lighted fuse yawing left on the deck of the Democrats sinking frigate.

I don’t understand. Why would a Rep who tells a reporter, “F-— you. Get out of my office before I throw you out the window” not be just the right guy to be a Dem chairman?

Mr. Stark.........meet Mr. Bus.

“Is this guy black? I heard the black caucus was pissed because a moonbat whitey was taking over for a corrupt black man.”
Nope. Sandy Levin is a cousin of the senator from Michigan, Carl Levin.

“He’s from Michigan....the poster state for government failure....”
IF the roads there are any indication of the state government, you are so correct. I almost tore the suspension right out from under my Gold Wing motorcycle trying to make it up to the UP last summer. I don’t recall ever seeing roads so bad. They’re like roads you’d see in some 3rd world country. And I thought Louisiana roads were bad...LOL. They don’t hold a candle to those in Michigan!!!!

Second Ways & Means boss ousted; Levin replaces liberal StarkI'm confused. Was Stark ever officially seated as the Chairman or was he just passed over for Levin?
If Stark was just passed over, then he wasn't ousted. He was just bypassed.
Very confusing headline compared with the story.

The headline incorrectly implies that Sander Levin is NOT liberal. In fact he is consistently one of the most liberal members of the caucus.

"I worked my whole career on this, and I don't want to do that [become chairman]," he told The Hill. "So Sandy moves up."
Anyone believe ole' Petey on this one? If true, it would be the first time a lefty did not crave more power.
To: Sub-Driver
"Sander Levin will be the interim Ways and Means panel chairman"
More Democrat only rules. There is no such thing as an interim chairman. He's either the chairman or he's not.
