Stupid abounds on both sides of the aisle and in the media.

Democrats:
Alcee Hastings? Bad move. Beyond bad... stupid!
Pelosa on Murtha? I can see it. Alliances and all. Murtha was exonerated on Abscam and he did bring Iraq policy to the fore. But he's too far into earmarks. People want that stopped.

Republicans:
Boehner? The guy that hands out the lobbyists' checks is the new majority leader.
Lott? I can't say that name, "minority", and "whip" without chuckling. Mississippi sends our love.

Media:
America just elevated our first woman to a national leadership role. Look for her to be painted as weak. It's already begun.
Newt Gingrich, unanimously elected just like Pelosi, didn't get his choice of majority leader way back when. He got Delay instead. Look at how differently Gingrich and Pelosi are handled.
