The Drama
I love politics.
Hear Ye, Hear Ye - Democrats have won the House and Senate! Pelosi is the new Speaker of the House, and she's already managed to split the party in half! Hear Ye, Hear Ye!
With the good comes the ugly, and we've got a doozy. At the moment the world is rejoicing, for the Democrats have now gained power in the House and Senate, leaving President Bush in a bit of a tough spot. Nancy Pelosi is the new Speaker of the House - a very prominent and powerful position which requires much responsibility and precise management skills. Pelosi has the power to take the Democrats to the top. She has the ability to strengthen the Democrats and unite them as a strong and uniform identity on the Hill. She has the means to make her mark in history. She has the . . . . .
Sigh.
News break: Pelosi has already successfully split the Democratic party without even being properly inaugurated. Crap!
The situation is this, ladies and gents: Nancy has the ability to choose the majority leader, and Hoyer was the main candidate up for grabs. Suddenly without word or slight nuance, she is promoting and nominating John Murtha for the position. Whaaa? Where did this come from? And what, oh what, is her little hippy mind thinking? Read more here.
The Democrats are in power. They have a chance to make the difference. The World is in celebration on a global scale, and we're screwing around with who's going to be the majority leader? Come on. Why the drama? In my personal opinion, she would be smart not to take a position on this matter. In the most case her avid promotion of Murtha for Majority Leader appears completely self-serving and biased. As a leader she should know that she should not be dealing the cards for the rest of the party.
In my personal opinion, Pelosi should not be as involved in this race as she is. It is her job to lead us in the right direction, not pull the party apart by implementing her own agenda. You know what this reminds me of? Bush tactics. This strategy and messy game of "hand picking" your "team" is selfish and overtly righteous.
Come on, Nancy. Stop promoting your own agenda.
If the majority is divided, we will be easily conquered.

See, this just kills me. Despite the misleading names, the Speaker leads the majority party. I'll bet there wouldn't be nearly so much controversy if "House majority leader" was renamed something more accurate, like "the Speaker's First Bitch."
Yeah. They shouldn't be messing around with this crap.
I read your post after seeing this photograph; had to share; hope the link works: http://www.nytimes.com/2006/11/16/us/politics/16congcnd.html?ex=1321333200&en=32126aa6f07bcb14&ei=5088&partner=rssnyt&emc=rss
Cost of winning the mid-terms: Gazillions of dollars.
Cost to Pelosi's reputation for backing Murtha: Unknown.
A big hug from Hoyer and mopey-face from Murtha, suggesting that cooler minds will in fact prevail in Washington like they did in the heartland: Priceless.
Pete: Absolutely! Perfect. We shall have to contact MasterCard. Thanks for the laugh.
