    Meanwhile, back at the ranch...

    And Nancy Pelosi, running unopposed within her party, receives every Democrat's vote in being re-named Speaker of the House in the 111th Congress, whereupon she utters this Term's version of "impeachment is off the table" -- without even crediting Monty Python or George Bush:

    "We will look forward, not backward; we will join hands, not point fingers." Let's not bicker and argue over 'oo killed 'oo.

    Nancy may just be remembering the gradeschool admonition that "when you point your finger at someone else, you are also pointing three fingers back at yourself." Either that, or she is just feeling utterly vindicated in her spineless abdication of constitutional responsibility over the past Term and has no incentive to clean up her act.

    More of the same, anyone?
