Doh! Its Murtha all over again

Well thank God we once again are on the path towards yet another promise of “the most ethical government ever”.

Only in the parallel universe of the Washington press corps could a party get away with this crap and still be considering the likes of Alcee Hastings to head the House Intelligence committee.

Now while it is true a jury in the trial did not convict Hastings, a panel of judges recommended the House impeach him. A year later the Senate convicted him. Mr. Hastings was removed from the bench forthwith. Three years later he was elected to the House, which probably says a little something about the jury pool in that area.

Now I think Hastings is pretty unlikely to head the Intelligence committee, but let’s face it, this is a little ridiculous. How can he even be in the running? I mean isn’t this sort of like John Murtha all over again?

Message to Nancy – This one should be pretty basic but get it straight – you can’t run on and win an election by promising ethical government and then all of a sudden realize all your top guys have bribery convictions. Got it? That only works during the election when the press will cover for you.. They can keep it up for a few months, but not two years. Got it?

Who knows what will happen, I gave up trying to figure out this stuff a long time ago. This is the party that is so great on civil rights it even has an ex Klansman in it. Honor Diversity!

To have a guy as a contender to head intelligence when he probably couldn’t pass a background check for a library card is just hilarious.
