Nancy Pelosi got me really angry today, and I'll tell you why.
I was listening to the radio on my way to volunteer for the CT Govenor's race (shameless plug: CT Dems go to
http://danmalloy.com to help get a Democratic govenor)when I heard that Congresswoman Pelosi, our fearless minority leader, had decided to retract her demands that Congressman Jefferson step down from the committees he sits on. Pelosi had this change of heart because of threats made to her by the Black Caucus, which said that they would campaign hard to make sure that she never became Speaker of the House Pelosi. I'm sorry, but do we really want our Democratic and possible House of Reps leader to be so cowardly as to sweep morals and common sense under the rug when faced with purely political threats? If the Democrats take back the House in '06, they had better find someone else to lead them, because I have lost all faith in Congresswoman Pelosi.
