There Goes Nancy…Again…

by

Will Nancy Pelosi attempt (for a third time in her yet-to-even-begin career as the Speaker of OUR House of Representatives) to put an ethically challenged colleague in a position of power in the new Democrat-controlled 110th?

Seems possible. Well, the only Democrat, Representative Alan Mollohan of West Virginia, to have put his name in for the chairmanship of the Subcommittee (of Appropriations) on Science, State, Justice, Commerce and Related Agencies (on which he currently serves as the ranking member) is poised to take the slot. Mollohan’s website boasts that this subcommittee:

“funds the departments of State, Justice and Commerce, as well as the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), the National Science Foundation (NSF) and the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA), among others.”

Only one problem: He’s being investigated by the FBI (which, last I heard, was part of the Department of Justice) for financial shenanigans. Does this sound familiar?

Mollohan, who hasn’t been charged with any crime, said in a June statement that his increase in net worth was a result of prudent real-estate investments.

What will the woman who so earnestly declared how “The Democrats intend to lead the most honest, most open, and most ethical Congress in history” do? Hand over the purse-strings of the FBI to a man they’re currently investigating? I can hardly wait to see…

  3. Maybe NancyP’s comment will be able to out-do SlickWilly’s senior adviser George Stephanopoulos when, asked about the failures to serve various political constituencies that were central in electing Clinton-Gore, he said “The President has kept all the promises he intended to keep.”

    NancyP could out-corrupt Jim Wright any day. She’s 100% sleaze, 24×7.

  7. Plus, HNC, Just A Question should be renamed “Just a Sneer”… it’s typical of what passes for constructive debate on that side of the Borg.

    Remember, this is the person who recently tried to undercut concerns of many about the Minnesota Imams removed after playing “terrorists for the day” onboard a jet.

    Just A Sneer offered that one of the Imams was supposedly blind and sneered that he wasn’t concerned about threats poised by blind terrorists. Without considering that the first terrorist to mastermind the 93 bombing of the World Trade Center was a convicted blind Imam terrorist.

    Just A Sneer demonstrates exactly what’s wrong with the terrorist apologists running rampant in the Democrat Party and Congress these days… failure to learn history’s urgent lessons and willing to place innocent Americans in the path of terror just to score partisan advantage.

    Such a jerk.

  8. BTW, Just A Sneer… compare the current Congress with the Bush Administration –the only ethical, uncorrupted presidency since Bush 41. I think the Bush Administration will look positively angelic compared just to the purported Committee chairs this incoming House and Senate majorities have in store for the prosecutors.

    “Anything would be better”? Right. The outgoing House was a cesspool… absolute power corrupts. At least they didn’t start out assumed to be corrupt –like NancyP’s band of merry criminals, felons, and wanna be felons. It took the current Congress about 10 yrs to get there; Pelosi’s crowd makes new use of the phrase: Hit the ground running… running from prosecutors.

  9. Congrats to Bruce, Dan, Nick and Joe for making it into the “Best 2006 Weblog Finalist” category… again.

    Voting begins tomorrow (Dec 7) and it would be a shame if the guys don’t win the Best LGBT blog category… when they deserve and merit “Best Blog” period.

  10. Well beyond what you’ve decided I’ve said, the irony of you criticizing and incoming Congress, which hasn’t even started their term yet, while giving a free pass to a Congress that had practically a new scandal per day is hilarious.

    There couldn’t be a bigger diference between the two. Just thought you fellows might want to actually wait for a scandal to happen before you say something that makes you look like partisan hacks and fools. But as the gift that keeps on giving, thanks for the early Christmas present.

  12. Well beyond what you’ve decided I’ve said, the irony of you criticizing and incoming Congress, which hasn’t even started their term yet, while giving a free pass to a Congress that had practically a new scandal per day is hilarious.

    That’s because, JAQ, you don’t mean “Congress”; you mean “Republicans”.

    If corruption were your concern in “Congress”, you would be demanding the heads of hypocrites like Pelosi, Mollohan, Jefferson, Murtha, and the other litany of Democrats who are telling everyone how “ethical” they are and demanding other peoples’ punishment and resignations while earmarking, campaign finance frauding, and accept-bribing their heads off.

    You and your fellow leftists have insisted that anyone who commits campaign finance fraud is a) unfit to be in Congress and b) unfit to be in a leadership role. Say that Nancy Pelosi is unfit, or say that it’s not a problem for Congresspersons to engage in campaign finance fraud.

  13. What I’ve learned about Republicans: They go to Washington to “Clean Up A Corrupt Congress” and within a decade, they’ve become corrupt themselves.

    What I’ve learned about Democrats: They go to Washington to “Clean Up A Corrupt Congress” and before they even get there, they’ve become corrupt themselves.

  15. sean, your unsubstantial points are about as meaningful as your choices in life – completely reliant upon emotion, and thoroughly absent any consultation with reason.

    My young friend, you may as well be stalkling bus stations, if you think anybody here (with the possible exception of your present taste intellectual equals) is even remotely interested in the bullsh*t you have decided substitutes for truth.

    Thus endeth the lesson.

  17. Just A Sneer at #10 writes: “…while giving a free pass to a Congress that had practically a new scandal per day is hilarious.”

    So sorry Just A Sneer, I didn’t give a free pass to the outgoing GOP-controlled Congress… read and comprehend before you emote, ok? I wrote the current Congress is a cesspool… and they are evidence that absolute power corrupts.

    “Free pass”, eh? Right at being wrong again, Just A Sneer.

    The only “partisan hack and fool” is you, Just A Sneer, when you argued the DailyKos talking point that one of the Minnesota Imams was blind and therefore no threat to anyone. For you to contend anyone here is a partisan hack or fool is like… like… well, like Gryph projecting his anti-military BushHatred and bigotry on Bruce claiming that Bruce would spit on the military if they were Democrats and –let’s see– “baby killers”.

    Wrong again, Just A Sneer. ColoradoPatriot refutes you squarely in #13.

  18. If corruption were your concern in “Congress”, you would be demanding the heads of hypocrites like Pelosi, Mollohan, Jefferson, Murtha…

    Which he won’t, of course. Just A Question should be called Just A Braindead Democrat Zombie Hack who would never hold his peeps to the same standards he holds the other party, or, indeed, to any standards at all.

    Face it, the Democrats never really cared about cleaning up corruption. Smearing Republican scandals was just a means to an end of regaining power. And now that they have it, of course, they are going to abuse it as much or more than Republicans did. Pelosi’s promise of cleaning house was nothing but a campaign slogan, and now the campaign’s over. Back to business as usual.

    And business as usual means Democrats get away with much worse than Republicans do. Gerry Studds, Barney Frank, and Mel Reynolds were way sleazier than Mark Foley, but they got away with it, because they’re Democrats. (And Foley still deserved worse than he got). Mollohan, Alcee Hastings, and William Jefferson are way more corrupt than Tom DeLay, but they’re still in power and he’s not. Largely because the Democrats and the Media (but I repeat myself) are basically filled with people just like Just A Braindead Democrat Zombie Hack who are more than willing to overlook corruption in their own ranks as long as they get the power.

  19. “Mollohan, Alcee Hastings, and William Jefferson are way more corrupt than Tom DeLay, but they’re still in power and he’s not”

    I grant you those folks are no good but Tom Delay, First and Denny not only were corrupt but through the K-Street project and other actions, they institutionalized corruption.
    That has made the Repub Congress the gold standard of corruption.
    And unfortunately all Nancy P. has to say is “At least we were not as bad as THOSE GUYS WERE” and she has all the political cover she needs

    Its truly is a pity, but since the Repubs were soo bad, they only have themselves to blame…

  20. all Nancy P. has to say is “At least we were not as bad as THOSE GUYS WERE”

    Because you, and your leftist buddies, and your allies in the media, have zero intention of ever calling Democrats to account for their own corruption.

  24. The bar for pusuing corruption is set very high for Democrats (i.e. having sex with underage staffers – OK, taking bribes – OK) and much lower for Republicans (sending inappropriate emails – BAD, taking donations from lobbyists – BAD).

    Corruption should not be tolerated from either side. But as Silly Person and Just A Tool demonstrate, when their guys are doing it, they shrug it off.

  25. Now, I’m going to do something Silly Person and Just a Tool won’t do, in criticize what would be my team if I were a Republican, but failing that are still the lesser of two evils. Some of the Republican leadership picks for the next Congress are awful, i.e. Oily slimebag Trent Lott for Majority Whip, and open borders nitwit Mel Martinez for party chair. Others are merely idiotic, such as reappoint “part of the problem” John Beohner and Roy Blount to House leadership. There have been good picks, such as Jeb Hensarling for a policy leadership position and Mitch McConnell for minority leader. I will also do something partisan tools are incapable of doing and give credit to the other side by saying it also looks as if Sylvester Reyes will make a decent House Intelligence chair for the Donks.

  27. And George Bush began his presidency hiring more convicted felons than any other president in history.

    And here we thought Democratic dogma was that convictions should not count against someone in employment decisions or voting.

    Isn’t it amazing how hypocrites like Kevin will demand that convicted felons should not be discriminated against, but bash the Bush administration for not doing so?

  29. ND30, why do you consistently bend the truth? Kevin was not bashing in his post, he said the door swings both ways.

    Mhm.

    Democrat dogma is also that one’s record of convictions is no one else’s business, especially when it comes to their hires or their voters.

    Given that Kevin is a Democrat, even broaching the subject in the first place was hypocritical on his part. Insinuating that there’s something wrong with hiring convicted felons merely accentuates that.

    The problem here, Banned, is that you and your fellow Democrats are simply too used to being in a group where your insane hatred of Bush, conservatives, and Republicans is the overriding motivation; thus, you can claim to be uninterested in criminal records on the one hand, but bash Republicans on the other for hiring convicted felons, just as long as both are anti-Bush, conservatives, and Republicans.

    But other people not blinded by rage aren’t so forgiving.

  31. #19, keogh: “all Nancy P. has to say is “At least we were not as bad as THOSE GUYS WERE” and she has all the political cover she needs”

    Um, k, that’s not what she said. What she said (please re-read her words if you’re unclear) was “The Democrats intend to lead the most honest, most open, and most ethical Congress in history.” Already she’s proven those words to be hollow.

    I, as well as many Republicans, am disgusted by how a dozen years in power had destroyed the claim to moral superiority Republicans used to have. Nancy Pelosi proves that, while the Republicans no longer claim the moral high-ground, it’s by no means under Democratic control.

    Let’s call it up-for-grabs.

  33. #30: Hm, the Iraq study Surrender Group suggests that America needs to negotiate in good faith with the tyrannical, genocide-oriented regimes in Iran and Syria. Talk about taking everyone down with their delusions.

    Sometimes, I wonder exactly how severe the head injury has to be before someone is actually capable of thinking like a liberal.

  34. But I apologize for buying into monty’s attempt to change the subject from what a bunch of corrupt sleazebags his heroes are. And as for Kevin’s typically deranged comment, perhaps Bush hired all those felons to help with the extermination camps.
