"Cat fight" in House

The "cat fight" between Nancy Pelosi and Jane Harman isn't going away and it's interesting to read details (here, here).

Some of the interesting tidbits from these articles: Harman hasn't been strident enough for the Democrat Party base.

Members of the "Congressional Black Caucus" seem prepared to give Pelosi a pass if she gives Hastings a pass.

No publication, save the British Independent, dare call this a "catfight."

And Pelosi's spokesman is spinning out of control:

Spokesman Drew Hammill said Tuesday that the Select Committee on Intelligence, as it is formally called, is different from other panels. "Seniority doesn't carry over from Congress to Congress," he said, adding that the speaker could not only change the membership but pick "virtually any" House member to be chairman.

Well, it's not "seniority" then, is it?
