Wait, let me see if i got this straight... the scandal surrounding John Murtha is that, 26 years ago, an undercover FBI agent offered him a $50,000 bribe and he didn't take it? Oh, and he's known for winning pork-barrel money for his district. The cad! A member of Congress, exchanging votes for pork-barrel, oh what have we come to!

We simply can't have people of this caliber as congressional leadership. There's no proper scandal material there at all, though the mass media are doing the best they can with the meager material they've been given. What are the Dems thinking?

If Pelosi is going for "the cleanest House in history," then her pick is a strange one.

She's going for loyalty, which is the oldest game in D.C. since Jackson. Cronyism needs to be snuffed out, and what she's indicating at the start is that that's not part of her agenda.
