I find it stupifying that Pelosi would do this... but it appears she's going ahead with naming this fellow to be the head of the Senate Intelligence committee... "Mr Gadianton, would you like to head our intelligence committee?" Grrr...


From the article...



"Next in line for the Democrats on the committee is Hastings. But he, too, poses a problem. In the late 1980s, Hastings, then a federal judge, was impeached by the Democratic-controlled House on bribery and perjury charges and removed from office by the Democratic-led Senate. He was later elected to the House and subsequently joined the intelligence committee.


Can Pelosi pick a fellow impeached and convicted on corruption charges to run a committee handling the most sensitive secrets of the government?"

How was the dirt bag even eligible to run for office?

Can you think of a major democratic political figure in the past decade or so who actually has been punished for gross corruption and/or crimes?
