I have watched interviews with Congresswoman Nancy Pelosi all day today, and I am pleased with her measured and calm responses. However, tonight I heard her mention Rep. Alcee L. Hastings of Florida as a possible Intelligence Committee Chairman.
Maybe we need to send Ms Pelosi the message below. It's from an e-mail that I received a short time ago.
"Two candidates whom Ms. Pelosi is said to be considering for Intelligence Committee chairman are Representatives Alcee L. Hastings of Florida and Silvestre Reyes of Texas, both of whom currently serve on the panel.
"The selection of Mr. Hastings, who is black, would help Ms. Pelosi shore up support from the powerful Congressional Black Caucus. But he has a checkered past, having been impeached and removed from a federal judgeship in 1989 on a bribery charge. Some Democrats fear that installing him in so sensitive a position would only invite Republican charges of weak Democratic leadership on national security matters."
Appointing somebody who could take bribes while wearing a black robe would be major high order hypocrisy in light of the "culture of corruption" hoo-hah.
This is not inside info. Everybody with any sense will know. I remember the trial. He's as guilty as the LooseAnna Dem with the big bucks in his freezer.
