#2 Too bad, Alcee. Could've had the motherlode.
Oh, well. Back to the nickel and dime bribes...

#3 another climbdown for Pelosi - she's two-fer in the incompetence ratings

#4 I can't believe his name was even floated. Impeached judges on the House Intelligence (stop laughing!) Committee? Jeez, Nancy, talk about a political tin ear. I admit I was looking forward to the ensuing circus.

They must have discovered he's missing the prerequisite.

C'mon, guys! All of you have to retake Snark 101. :-)

#6 Huzzahs!
removed from a federal judgeship in the 1980s after being acquitted of bribery charges.

Is that the timeline?

#7 Here's an excerpt from Hastings comment.
"I am obviously disappointed with this decision," Hastings, D-Fla., said in a statement thanking his supporters. "I will be seeking better and bigger opportunities in a Democratic Congress."
In a sign of the bitterness that has surrounded the debate, Hastings closed his statement by saying: "Sorry, haters, God is not finished with me yet."

#9 yeah, right, we're all haters for wanting you to crawl back under the rock you should've stayed under. I sincerely hope the Congressional Black Caucus raises holy hell. It'll be fitting to diminish both their "moral authority" and Nancy's power position over her bitchy catfight with Harman

#10 Well, I've washed my hands of him. . .

#11 The dems must start to realize that a narrow majority is not a mandate. Floating Hastings as a candidate for leader of the House Intel Committee is just plain stupid. I doubt that this little brain fart will smarten up Pelosi. Stupidity is our friend, when dealing with a dem. Jeeze Louise.
