Herding Cats

Has anyone every tried to herd cats? I ask this because I think that is what controlling the democrats in congress is going to be like.

In November I was scared to death. Damn it, the democrats have control over both houses. I am moving to Australia.

Then Pelosi said "I want John Murtha for House Majority Leader". That was shot down like a UN resolution. So much for getting rid of the "Culture of Corruption". Can you say Abscam?...Yes,...I thought that you could.

Then her good friend Charlie Rangel said that he can not think of one of Bush's tax cuts that could "merit renewal". Hey Charlie, I don't think Mrs. Pelosi approved that message. I am pretty sure she wanted to keep that idea on the "DL dog". Way to shed that tax and spend stereotype. Especially since you made that statement after the US Treasury reported the highest tax revenue in the history of the United States, with inflation.

Than Pelosi said "I want Alcee Hastings, one of only 7 federal judges in two hundred plus years to ever get removed from the bench, for Chairman of the House Intelligence Committee". This also went over well, considering she stated "I will bring civility back to congress". Pelosi voted for his impeachment, but nominated him for one of the most powerful positions in Congress. She also passed over the ranking democrat on the committee, a fellow woman with a clean record, and one of the few honorable democrats Jane Harmon. By the way Jane Harmon is a Bush critic, but supports the war. Coincidence, I think not. She saw trouble a brewing with Alcee Hastings, and nominated Silvestre Reyes. Which backfired. He failed a quiz on Hezbollah and Al Qaeda given to him by CQ National Security editor Jeff Stein. Good choice Nancy. Any other minorities you would like to exploit?

Is there anyone in congress listening to Nancy? What happen to that "They will do what I say, and toe the party line" type affect she was supposed to have? According to Barbara Walters she is the most fascinating person of 2006. I would have to agree, here is a woman that spent years to get to the Speaker of the House, she finally gets there and screws it up before she can even take the Oath of Office. Maybe she hasn't used her "Mother of Five" voice.

So, I have decided that I am not going to move to Australia just yet. This is the perfect time to sit back and watch Mrs. Pelosi try and regain control over a congress that has not even convened yet. Which has become more difficult because of her recent nominations. So, Mrs. Pelosi have fun herding those cats, and don't forget your "mother of five" voice.
