\t\t\t\tShe’s not officially Speaker yet, but Nancy Pelosi has already screwed-up big time by supporting corrupt peacenik John Murtha for House majority leader:<\/a><\/p>\n

\nRep. Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.), in line to become Speaker in January, is throwing her support to Rep. John Murtha (D-Pa.) in the race for Majority Leader, a move that will be an early test of her influence and will weigh heavily on Murtha’s contest with Rep. Steny Hoyer (D-Md.) for the post.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Pelosi has also all but decided she will not name the ranking Democrat on the House intelligence committee, Rep. Jane Harman (D-Calif.) to chair that panel next year, a decision pregnant with personal animus.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Everybody wants out of Iraq, but publishing the train schedule is probably not the way to do it. If this keeps up, 2008 won’t be a happy year for Democrats.\t\t<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
