What price loyalty?

Murtha vs. Hoyer. This shouldn't even be the first controversial Democratic issue. Nancy Pelosi pulls for Murtha even though he has ethical questions. Stenny Hoyer is the one to bet and I can only hope that Democrats are paying more than lip service to their declarations of ethical purity in the new Congress. If Murtha is 2nd in command in the House then we start the first inning with 1 strike right out of the box. I can only hope that Pelosi is showing loyalty to a cause she knows is lost. That way she wins both ways. Murtha feels like he has the support he deserves, Pelosi keep everyone happy but gets an ethically clean 2nd in command in Hoyer.

Batter up.
