In my post here yesterday assessing the Republican members of the debt-ceiling deal “super-committee,” I noted:
Pelosi has yet to name her bench. Bet on radical nutcases (someone from the black caucus, for example) or bare-knuckled partisans like Chris Van Hollen.
Well, today Pelosi named her picks: Jim Clyburn (of the Congressional Black Caucus), Xavier Beccera, and Chris Van Hollen. Now, if only my stock market picks this week were this on target.
I hear that some lefties are already complaining that the whole 12-member committee lacks–wait for it . . . –diversity. Only one woman (Murray) in the whole bunch. Oh, this is going to go well.
