Pelosi demands equal Dem/Repub Split for Select Committee
Hot Air ^ | May 6th, 2014 | Ed Morrissey

Good luck with that. House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi faces pressure from all sides in regard to the newly-launched select committee to investigate Benghazi. Participating would legitimize the results, while boycotting it might open up Democrats to attacks on their concern for diplomatic personnel abroad, four of whom were killed in the attack on September 11, 2012, and leave administration officials no way to set the narrative through the friendly questioning of Democrats on the panel during public hearings. Pelosi hedged in the direction of participation by demanding an equal number of seats on the committee:

“Let’s watch and see how heavily the ‘rats target Gowdy in November as retaliation.”


In Gowdy’s district? HA HA HA!

BTW, Trey Gowdy doesn’t even have a Democrat opponent. But I’d like Democrats to really target Gowdy this November as retaliation—maybe they can run another of Stephen Colbert’s sisters ... this time as a write-in.

It would be satisfying but I guess they have to be “above it all” or something silly! :)

Fine. Let her walk. Better than Trent Lott's "power sharing" fiasco.

“Pelosi demands equal Dem/Repub Split for Select Committee,”

WRONG...
Doesn’t she understand that ELECTIONS HAVE CONSEQUENCES???
(Or does that only apply when Democrats are in charge?)

This kind of garbage is one more thing that can be laid at the feet of John McCain. When the senate was 50-50 with a republican vice president casting tie breaking votes, McCain allowed co-chairs on all of his committees.

Their plan is simple. They will accept assignments to the committee. Then on the first day they will walk out in protest calling it a political witch hunt. Then all of the witnesses will refuse to testify saying it’s not a legitimate committee. And, of course, the media will cover for them.

From that day forward every dumb ass liberal in the country will be screaming “Bush lied about weap....uh...this is a witch hut! Yeah, that’s the ticket!”

Its been a long time since I have heard a GOP congressman speak with such conviction.
Perhaps there is hope for the USA

“...“above it all” ...”

That’s why I could never be in politics. I won’t ever be “above it all”.

But I hear you and understand you. They play stupid games - and WE pay for it.

You nailed it! Boehner can still give away the store, & he’s done it before.

You are so right about congressman Gowdy!
He is genuine in my book until he proves otherwise.

Having worked as a prosecutor for many years, he is
well honed on interrogation skills, so is ideal for this new job.

Also, he avoids impossible to win stunts such as
Ted Cruze’s attempt to defund Obamacare. DO not get me
wrong, Ted Cruze is a great conservative senator. Just
not sure if he can win a national race.
