Funny That
From Today's Papers:
Only the WP gives front-page play to Friday's Republican leadership election, despite the amount of copy devoted to the Democratic elections. TP [Today's Papers] concedes that John A. Boehner and Roy Blunt keeping their positions in the minority is less of a shock than Steny H. Hoyer trouncing John P. Murtha with Nancy Pelosi awkwardly sandwiched in between. But as the WP points out, the story here is not the success of the old guard but the failure of the new,[my emphasis] as the caucus rebuffed attempts by more conservative members to chart a new course for the party. The news might not be flashy, but it says a lot about how Republicans are planning to handle life in the minority.
Not nearly as juicy as that grandmother bitch Pelosi getting the smackdown by a bunch of libruls, but it might be relevant to the country. At least a little. Eh?
