Too rich for words

Far-right blog Red State is always good for some funny comments. They had an interesting take on Speaker-elect Nancy Pelosi's choice of Rep. John Murtha as House Majority Leader:

With the next Speaker's support, odds are that 25-years after
the Democrat-controlled House Ethics Committee cleared Murtha of all charges in
the ABSCAM scandal, Okinawa Jack finally will get the leadership position to
which he had been working before getting caught.

Just to recap some more recent history than ABSCAM: Before John Boehner replaced him after he was indicted, your Majority Leader was, how do we say this, Tom DeLay.

Then, last week, corruption was cited as a major factor in the Democrats retaking the House.

So, you know, maybe wait a few days before you start tossing around 20-year old corruption allegations.
