Not a good sign

Nancy Pelosi is backing Jack "Cut and Run" Murtha for House Majority Leader.

Or Jack "I don't want a bribe right now, but talk to me later" Murtha, as you prefer (if you miss the reference, that's what he told the FBI agents who tried to get him in the ABSCAM sting. On videotape).

Good picture of Murtha, btw. The one in the story linked to above, that is.

One possible positive outcome: it would mean that that Murtha wouldn't chair the Appropriations Committee. Maybe that's what Nancy is thinking.

I hope so, for the country's sake.
