CHANGE WE CAN BELIEVE IN

Longtime Head of House Energy Panel Is Ousted

John Dingell from Michigan is a long-term Democratic embarrassment. He is the puppet of the auto industry. To have him in charge of environmental affairs is asking the fox to guard the chickens.

He is an old time poll with way too many irons in the fire.

The new guy, Henry Waxman, on the other hand, is a fervent proponent of the new times. He has been tireless in his role as Chairman of the Committee on Oversight and Government Reform. I have loved watching him hold the bushies feet to the fire.

Of course, the election has rendered this post moot or inactive or something. There is no opposition role to play.

You can't tell me that the new Prez didn't have a hand here. Pelosi was 'neutral'. As another old poll, Charles Rangell pointed out, having no role is having a role.

Rangel also bemoaned that the seniority system is dead.

High time.

I love Waxman. He is a Californian and, perhaps, the homeliest Representative in the house.

Change is beautiful. A good compensation for what you got handed to you at birth.
