I go back to the trash can to cover crooked John Conyers, Nancy “Mrs. Clean” Pelosi, and bipartisan rump-coverers today at Hot Air.
The New York Post editorial board weighs in on the imperial John Conyers this morning–excoriating the House Ethics Committee for giving him a pass on his unethical use and abuse of staffers:
Conyers, [...]

Business as usual
Here’s a great way to ring another new year of the culture of corruption in Washington.

Here’s the buried-for-the-holidays statement on the House Ethics Committee website:

Over the weekend, I noted the arrest of illegal alien Mohammed Yusef Mullawala, of Jamaica, N.Y., who enrolled in a Smithfield tractor-trailer training school in order to obtain a commercial driver’s license and permit to haul hazardous materials. He’s the guy who was in a hurry to learn how to steer a tractor-trailer, but not [...]

Here’s the ISG homepage.
Rick Moran writes in advance of the report’s release today:
You will excuse me if I believe that talking to Syria while it is in the process of gobbling up its tiny Lebanese neighbor to be one of the most cynical, immoral, and ill-considered diplomatic ideas in a generation – which of course [...]

Rebuffed by Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, the NYTimes puts out a desperate editorial this morning asking someone, anyone–paging Nancy Pelosi!–to help protect them from accountability for protecting illegal leakers and reporters accused of tipping off terrorist charities:
A journalist’s ability to protect the identity of confidential sources has been further eroded by the Supreme Court’s refusal [...]

***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 [...]

***update: Dems’ kiss and make-up video is here…more on the Murtha redeployment…***
Pelosi’s in. Now, NRO’s Jonathan Martin (terrific addition to The Corner) reports, the voting for Majority Leader has commenced. He’s filing from the Capitol:
The nominating speeches are over, and House Democrats are voting now to choose their new Majority Leader.
For Rep. John Murtha, [...]

Dirtbag then, dirtbag now
My woman-to-woman advice for Nancy Pelosi today: To clean a house, you take the garbage out, not in.
Jan. 12, 2006: Pelosi Announces ‘Clean House Team’ to Address Republican Culture of Corruption
“It is long past time for the Congress to address the systemic Republican culture of corruption that has undermined the American people’s [...]

(Photoshop: Kathy Y.)
They can’t be serious, can they? Oh, yes they are.
The Hill newspaper reports. You deride:
Speaker-in-waiting Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) threw her support behind Rep. John Murtha (D-Pa.) for majority leader Sunday, giving a significant boost to Murtha in his race against Rep. Steny Hoyer (D-Md.).
“Your strong voice for national security, the war on terror [...]

I know what Nancy Pelosi’s lips say. She says she thinks impeachment is “off the table.” She says she thinks it would be a “waste of time.”
But the groundwork is being laid. Former Brooklyn Rep. Liz Holtzman is hawking a book outlining how to impeach President Bush:
In her book, Holtzman and co-writer Cynthia Cooper lay [...]

I’m really trying to keep my spirits and yours up, but stuff like this ain’t helping:
President George W. Bush on Wednesday said increasing the national minimum wage is likely an issue on which he could cooperate with Democratic leaders in Congress.
“I believe in a lot of issues we can find common ground and there’s a [...]

Michael Graham nails the Democrats’ strategy of undermining the election results before they’re tallied:

“Either we win, or you cheated!”
Nancy Pelosi’s doing it, too.
And left-wing groups are threatening to create legal havoc by demanding deadline extensions for absentee ballots.
Notice in all their pot-stirring about voting fraud that they have absolutely nothing to say about the left-wing [...]

***update: Michael J. Fox responds on CBS: he was overmedicated, not acting***
Brian Maloney has a thorough round-up on the Rush Limbaugh vs. Michael J. Fox battle.
As expected, the MSM is going bananas over Limbaugh’s pointed commentary. Liberal celebrities stride onto the political stage with an imperial sense of entitlement–expecting to fling barbed criticism at [...]

Don’t measure your drapes yet, lady
A few weeks ago, while blogging on the road (always a somewhat risky thing to do), I glibly mentioned the possibility of sitting at home for the midterms over heated disagreement with the Bush administration on immigration. Many grass-roots conservatives have grievances with how the White House has handled a [...]

Get a load of the BDS-infected Agence France-Presse caption accompanying a screenshot of the Republican National Committee website. I am not making this up (hat tip: reader Joe M.):

Reminding Americans of the ever-present dangers of jihad is resorting to “utter fear?”
Here’s another one accompanying a photo of President Bush:

Can you imagine them running a caption [...]

Fox News and the Los Angeles Times report on the identity of the Democrat leak suspect–a staffer in the office of House Intelligence Committee member Rep. Jane Harman (D-Calif.). LA Times:
The aide was identified by other congressional officials as Larry Hanauer. The officials, who spoke on condition of anonymity because of a pending investigation into [...]

Hmm:
House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi asked her colleagues Tuesday to close the House’s doors for a highly unusual secret session to discuss a classified intelligence analysis on global terrorism.
Such a session hasn’t happened in the House since July 1983, when the chamber went into a closed session to discuss the United States’ support for paramilitary [...]

A little in-fighting over Rep. “Frozen Dollar Bill” Jefferson:
With members of the Congressional Black Caucus crying double standard, House Democrats met behind closed doors Thursday and voted to strip Rep. William Jefferson of his seat on the Ways and Means Committee.
The move was led by House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, D-California, [...]

Watch Gen. Hayden’s message this morning at his CIA confirmation hearing: “CIA needs to get out of the news.” Open thread here.
Meanwhile, Democrats have been screaming and pouting about not being briefed on the NSA’s terrorism surveillance programs. Nancy Pelosi complained:
Nancy Pelosi explained to a group of progressive journalists about a week before the latest [...]

Well, potentially: Pirate’s Cove, quoting the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, says Capitol Hill police will seek an arrest warrant next week.
UPDATE: Via Drudge, no apology. Serves the cop right for stopping someone he didn’t know from walking around the metal detector at the entrance to a federal building, I guess.
UPDATE: Nancy Pelosi says the cop’s not [...]

Harry Belafonte , who referred to black members of the Bush administration as “black tyrants,” wasn’t the only one flying off the handle at the Voting Rights Act march in Atlanta this weekend:
A featured speaker at Saturday’s civil rights march in Atlanta said the Bush administration and Republican Party leaders are “thieves” who “need to [...]

Furor over the Kelo government land-grab ruling has not died down. John Kramer at the Institute for Justice e-mails details of a citizens’ protest taking place today in New London before a city council meeting:

Arthur Chrenkoff gives Molly a spanking:
Really? More than all those dead Kurds of the Anfal Operation and the Shia of the ‘’91 uprising, more than all the other domestic opponents butchered over the years? And I’m [...]

I know I’ll be sentenced to Operation Respect: Don’t Laugh at Me camp, but there is only one proper reaction to House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi’s attempt to conceal her ignorance of the Kelo decision:
Snort.
Snort. Snort.
Guffaw.
BWAH-hah-hah-hah.

The folks at The Corner called Pelosi out first, and the blogswarm has been rightly merciless.
Betsy Newmark roars:
