Nancy Loves John...Bleh

Speaker-elect Nancy Pelosi has taken her first "leadership" position since the election and man is it boneheaded. She's endorsed John Murtha (PA) for Majority Leader over current whip Stenny Hoyer.

Up until he realized he was douped into supporting the war, Murtha was no friend of the Left (whom Ms. Pelosi is most certainly a member). He was a hawkish pork loving irrelevent back bencher from rural Pennsylvania with a conservative voting record. Why Pelosi and other liberals will set aside decades of conservative votes and sleaze because they feel the need to hide behind a vet on war issues is beyond me.

Wake up Nancy. You just got swept into office on a wave of anti-war sentiment. You don't need to hide behind the ethically challenged Murtha anymore.
