Pelosi: Hypocritical Appointment Anyone?

So everyone remembers how this past year Nancy Pelosi had the gumption to label the Republicans in congress as the "Culture of Corruption." How silly a thought that either political party would label the other as corrupt while simutaneously trying to claim the moral high ground, ESP. the democrats trying to call out the Republicans! Republicans historically have a far better record of dealing with corruption within their own party than the dems do. Need I mention Alcee Hastings, Bill Clinton, Barney Frank, Gary Stubbs? Naw why bring up the facts when we can just ignore those, more fun that way.

Nancy Pelosi is thus far bungling her leadership role as the incoming Speaker of the House. She pushed for Murtha from Penn for the Minority Whip, who by the way was caught on tape with federal agents discussing potential bribes as well as all but confessing to past bribes. The dems in the house shot his nomination down and he lost handedly to Hoyer from Maryland.

Now only after a ton of backlash has Nancy decided NOT to appoint Hastings as Chairman of the house intelligence committee. Hastings who is the 80's was censured by the DEMOCRAT house by a vote which only had TWO vote NOT to censure Hastings. Oh and by the way Pelosi was one that voted in favor of the censure. Also Hastings was officially impeached from the bench because of scandal and corruption. Well so far so good Nancy for "cleaning up" the congress. Off to a great start with trying to appoint and some of the most corrupt congressmen from the past 20 years. Anyone miss Tip O'Neil?
