Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., will appoint Democratic Sens. Patty Murray of Washington, Max Baucus of Montana, and John Kerry of Massachusetts to the new super committee tasked with finding $1.2 trillion in additional deficit reduction by November 23, according to a senior Democratic aide familiar with Reids decision, which is expected to be made public as early as Wednesday.
Additionally, Murray is expected to co-chair the committee, officially named the Joint Select Committee on Deficit Reduction, along with a still unnamed House Republican. A spokesman for Reid did not respond to a request for comment.
Reids decision to tap Murray will likely be met with scrutiny, as she is also chairing the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee for the 2012 election cycle. But she is also a member of leadership, a senior member of the Budget Committee, and a woman on what is likely to be a male-dominated committee.

So you have the stupidest woman in the Senate, joined with a two-faced backstabber of epic proportions, and a commie who denounced the US Army and the men in it.
I'm not sure even the Democrats could do worse than this ~

I'm glad to see that Dingy Harry is taking this seriously.
Stupidest person in the Senate as co-chair. Was Gorelick not available?

I am curious to see what they come back with. Probably more BS.

The dems have selected losers.
I vote for DeMint, Rubio and Rand Paul for our side.

Too bad Shelia Jackson Lee isn’t a senator—she’d make a swell addition to this lineup!

THIS is the lineup they are sending into the game? Wow. Pathetic.What did you expect? With Harry Reid trying to put on a power play....they still do not understand what they are doing. The 2012 election can not come soon enough for me.
