Can anyone explain why Dennis Hastert used the Jefferson raid to side with Pelosi?
It seems like an own goal during a penalty kick, which you'd like to think never happens in real life.
UPDATE: I'm sure if it was Tom DeLay who was raided, Nancy Pelosi whould have been first to the barricades.
Posted by Kevin Murphy at May 24, 2006 08:16 PMWhether it's an own-goal or a really long shot at the other guy's goal depends on what game is being played and who the teams are. I think Haster et al. see this more as a turf battle between the Congress Party and the Executive Party than one between the Republicrats and the Demopublicans. Whether Congressional Democrats see it that way is, of course, another question entirely.
