Good News and Bad News
According to Ana Marie Cox: "Steny 'Slightly Less Corrupt' Hoyer was elected Majority Leader, beating out John 'Bribe Me Later' Murtha. The vote in the Majority Leader race: 149-86. . . ." Since New Speaker of the House, Nancy "Eyes Wide Open" Pelosi, strongly backed Murtha, in writing, this is a stumble start and some proof that she is not the political powerhouse the press is portraying.
However, it is a good thing objectively for the Democrats that Murtha lost as he has been an objective embarrassment to his party as he, like Kerry, says stupid things poorly, regularly.
John Hinderaker adds: "The Democrats stepped back from the cliff on this one. Two years of Jack Murtha as a visible symbol of Congressional Dems would have gone a long way toward regaining the [Republican] majority in 2008."
