That liberal media strikes again: AFP
Since when is an endorsement tantamount to "imposing"? Pelosi backed her favored candidate who didn't win the election. There party jobs are important and people want them. It would be a scary situation if no one wanted a top job in the majority leadership.
Infighting among US Democrats after their victory in the November 7 elections has led some to wonder if the party is up to the task of controlling Congress.The first week of legislative work since the elections brought a personal defeat to incoming speaker of the House of Representatives, Nancy Pelosi, who will become the first woman to be number three in the constitutional line of succession -- behind the president and the vice president.
While trying unsuccessfully to impose a close ally as her right-hand man, she gave her followers reason to doubt her political skills.
"Nancy Pelosi has managed to severely scar her leadership even before taking up the gavel as the new speaker of the House," The New York Times commented in an editorial. "The new majority -- led by a presumably wiser speaker -- must realize by now that intramural vendetta is hardly a substitute for productive government."
