Pelosi Endorses Murtha for Majority Leader
John, “The Army is Broken” or “in cold blood” , Murtha, is the choice for Majority Leader:
“Your strong voice for national security, the war on terror and Iraq provides genuine leadership for our party, and I count on you to continue to lead on these vital issues,” Pelosi wrote Murtha Sunday in a letter obtained by The Hill. “For this and for all you have done for Democrats in the past and especially this last year, I am pleased to support your candidacy for majority leader for the 110th Congress.”:
“Nancy told me some time ago that she would personally support Jack. I respect her decision as the two are very close,” Hoyer said in a statement. “I am grateful for the support I have from my colleagues, and have the majority of the caucus supporting me. I look forward to working with Speaker Pelosi as Majority Leader.”:
One Democrat supporting Hoyer, who asked to remain anonymous, said the letter signaled desperation in the Murtha camp.
“It appears to me that Murtha had to pull Nancy forward because he was behind in votes,” the Democrat said. “This is not a surprise he was very important to her. [But] it’s a secret ballot and Steny has a lot of diverse support.”
Allahpundit points out that Carl Levin is saying withdrawal should begin in four to six months.

I see that we are replacing one “culture of corrution” with another. But what difference does it make, as long as that “culture of corruption” is on your side, right?
Idiots.

I am curious though…if the army is broken, who can be largely attributed for doing so?
