Congress Puts The Schmucks In Charge

• Pelosi is backing the ethically challenged and meally mouthed Jack Murtha to be Majority Leader
  
• The Senate is putting Max Baucus in charge of Finance Committee despite him aiding the Bush Regime
  
• As noted below, Trent Lott is back as Minority Whip
  
• Alcee Hastings will chair the House Intelligence Committee despite having no credentials when Jane Harmen is an acknowledged expert and current ranking member.
  

We threw out some of the bums but not all of them.
