It ain't easy bein' Speaker
It's pretty clear at this point that Speaker Nancy Pelosi is in WAY over her head:
"Nancy Pelosi has had a tough week.
"- She has had to agree to pretty much an unconditional surrender on the Iraq funding bill.
"In a new low for the category: 'Demonstrating Political Leadership,' Pelosi has announced that she probably will not vote for the bill she negotiated thereby leaving many of her Democratic colleagues to feel the full wrath of MoveOn.Org and its allies on the Far Left.
"- She had to oversee a vote which made a total lie of the pre-election promises to clean up the lobbying and earmarking activities which has led to dozens of Justice Department investigations of Members of Congress;
"- She had to deny on a nationally televised Sunday morning show that she had known anything about the bellowing and finger pointing on the House Floor by her former mentor and current ally, the under- or mis-medicated John Murtha of Pennsylvania, and;
"- She had to allow a vote to reprimand said John Murtha for that fairly serious violation of House Rules – a vote which was 'tabled' as a procedural mechanism to avoid having Democrats have to vote a THIRD time in a week on an issue many of them hated."
