Dems Elect Hoyer Over Murtha

The Dems wisely chose Steny Hoyer over Jack Murtha by a vote of 149-86 to be the next House majority leader. James Clyburn of South Carolina is now the majority whip, the number 3 position in the House.

That's a big ouch right there for Nancy Pelosi, who campaigned hard for the ethically-challenged Jack Murtha. Pelosi seems to have learned nothing from the Republican defeat this month - that when you espouse certain principles, such as 'cleaning up Congress', but practice them in a flexible way, people will call you on it.

Kudos to the Dems for blocking this trash from gaining a leadership post. Let's hope they don't forget their principles when Pelosi tries to appoint Alcee Hastings as chair of the Intelligence committee.
