So Much for Bipartisanship
From Insight:
Rep. Nancy Pelosi plans to sideline colleagues who are hawkish on national security in the Democratic leadership in the House.
[...]
"Nancy Pelosi wants total party discipline," a source in the Democratic Party leadership said. "If you played ball with the Republicans during this session, then you're not going to be given an important chair in the next session."
This shouldn't surprise anyone.
It seems one of the first on the chopping block is Jane Harman, whose seniority on the House Intelligence Committee gave some reason to think she would be awarded chairmanship.
The sources said the 61-year-old Ms. Harman, regarded as the best informed House Democrat on intelligence and technology issues, angered the liberal Ms. Pelosi by supporting the Bush administration’s policies on defense issues, particularly the war in Iraq and the Patriot Act. They said Ms. Pelosi has rebuffed lobbyists in the pro-Israel community and defense industry that sought a chairmanship for Ms. Harman.
"If Nancy Pelosi's apparent determination to deny Jane Harman the chairmanship of the House Intelligence Committee to appease the Black Caucus is any indication, Democratic control is not going to be good news for those who believe in competent oversight of the national-security apparatus," said Loren Thompson, a defense analyst at the Lexington Institute.
But we already knew the Democrats' first priority has never been national security or defense.
It's possible the chairmanship of this important committee will go to Rep. Alcee Hastings (FL), whom the Black Caucus has been pushing for this appointment. Hastings, you might remember, was impeached for corruption and perjury (he accepted a $150,000 bribe) and removed as a federal judge in 1981. I'm relieved we'll have such impeccable leadership from the Democrats after the culture of corruption of the Republicans.
It's good to know that the chairmanship will be awarded based on who is most competent...make that most competent at being a Democrat player.

Boy, that didn't take long, did it.
She isn't even going to pretend to be strong on national defense.
Will the blue puppies bite, whine, or cower?

Posted by: money online at November 21, 2011 11:42 AMI want to show some thanks to the writer just for bailing me out of this incident. After surfing around through the search engines and obtaining views which are not productive, I thought my entire life was gone. Living devoid of the solutions to the problems you've solved by means of your main short post is a serious case, and those that might have in a wrong way damaged my entire career if I hadn't discovered your web site. Your primary capability and kindness in handling every item was invaluable. I am not sure what I would have done if I hadn't come upon such a step like this. I'm able to now look forward to my future. Thanks very much for this reliable and results-oriented help. I will not be reluctant to suggest your blog post to any individual who should have assistance about this matter.
