Daschle has full authority over her appointment.

Yes, of course RATS/Daschle make all the committee assignments for the minority.

But, beyond the awful symbolism, what is the big deal? RATS will be in the minority on all committees, and having Carl Levin as chairman or ranking member is a lot worse than PIAPS as its most junior minority member.

She is only doing this to strengthen her foreign policy credentials for a 2008 run for the presidency.

Daschle has full authority over her appointment.

More proof that the 'rats hate this country.

"Daschle has full authority over her appointment."

My husband and I are horrified about this. Could someone please explain to us how she, as a junior-senator, with no military expierience, was able to get herself on this committee? What qualifications does she have? Who else is on the committee? What type of safeguards (if any) do we have against her doing some real damage?

Daschle must go. He is one of the axis of evil! (clintons, mcauliffe, daschle, gephardt, leahy....etc.)
