***update: Harman out of the picture, too***

Congressional Quarterly’s Tim Starks reports that Pelosi may be putting the ix-nay on Alcee Hastings’ bid to become House Intel Committee chair (via TPMMuckraker/hat tip Influence Peddler):

House Speaker-elect Nancy Pelosi was to meet with Rep. Alcee L. Hastings late Tuesday to close the door on his bid to become chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, a congressional aide said.

But Pelosi, D-Calif., has not yet decided who will get the job, according to the aide. . . .

Pelosi met with Harman two weeks ago to discuss the House Intelligence Committee chair job. There is little to suggest Pelosi will reverse her intention to replace Harman atop the panel.

Does this make Pelosi a “misinformed fool” like the rest of us?

Danny Glover and Allah have more.
