Townhall.com::How Democrats "clean house"::By Michelle Malkin

Remember how Nancy Pelosi exploited the female card before the midterm elections? "Maybe it will take a woman to clean up the House and a new speaker to restore civility," she bragged.

Women, she implied, do a better job than men because we presumably know how to get down on our hands and knees and scrub the mold and mildew out of every corner and crevice of our own domiciles.

But from the way she's acting, Nancy Pelosi doesn't know spic from span. She's conducting Beltway business as usual, just like the good old boys she demonized throughout the campaign. (Madame Pelosi just happens to do it in an Armani aqua blue-gray pantsuit that gets thumbs-up from obsequious Washington fashion writers.)

Well, a back-scratching corruptocrat in pastel is still a back-scratching corruptocrat. Case in point: Which congressman is Mrs. Clean considering as chairman of the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence? Impeached federal judge Rep. Alcee Hastings, D-Fla., who took bribes, lied under oath and was kicked off the bench.

And which colleague is she backing for House majority leader? One of Congress's leading dirtbags: Rep. John Murtha, D-Pa.

As if his extremist cut-and-run war strategery weren't bad enough, Murtha's (un)ethical record is enough to make even liberal apologists blush.

I concer with Tumbleweed. As a matter of fact, the contributors to Townhall.com are so far to the right, they make Dick Cheney look like a liberal. :p

She is a blogger, not an investigative reporter. Her comments are often controversial and have been known to lack evidence backing up her claims.

and how is that difference between me and you? We are posting on a forum our views/opinions just like she is. The only difference is the software used to do so.

Controversial comments get you exposure and get your view out.

Nobody knows more about controversial comments than I do. Very Happy

Her attacks on Democrats comes from party affiliation which hardly represents both sides of the actual facts .

Murtha seems to have some corruption skeletons in his closet. For that
reason he shouldn't be majority leader. Pelosi can't take a stance on
"cleaning up the house" and then overlook some shady things in his past.

... and I'm a liberal, and a Dem., but this one can't be defended.

I agree 100% with that. I can't believe he is even being considered.
