Speaker Pelosi, please rethink Alcee Hastings as Intelligence head |
|
He was impeached for perjury and bribery in 1989 and I think We Can Do Better! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alcee_Hastings

2. Don't they vote on who is going to be the head of each committee? |
|
Or is that only a Pub thing?

Set the tone for "ending the culture of corruption" by not appointing a convicted felon to a committee head.

There are plenty of good Democrats, and a few Republicans I'd appoint before Hastings.

5. Indeed! Would rather keep Harman at the helm than promote Hastings. |
|
Selecting Hastings as Intel head would be one of the most foolish "first actions" by Madame Speaker i could imagine.
