or: Experiments in better government.

By Mark Kilmer

Speaker Nancy is either bored or loopy. Here's what she's planned:

Pelosi to Hold Weekly Press Conference Tomorrow, Celebrate Take Our Daughters and Sons to Work Day
…
Washington, D.C. To celebrate Take Our Daughters and Sons to Work Day, Speaker Nancy Pelosi is inviting members of the Capitol Hill press corps and staff to bring their children to her regular weekly press conference tomorrow, Thursday, April 24. Following the regular Q&A, the Speaker will take a few questions from the children.

There are some members of the DC press corps, unfortunately, about whose reproductive ventures I'd sooner remain ignorant. Will these kids be brainwashed into asking about the evil, mutant Bush Administration? What does she tell these innocents if they ask her about San Francisco?

Over at Famous DC (linked above), they "hope this made for TV train wreck is televised." If it's embarrassing, it won't be, so I hope it's not. Then again, C-SPAN will cover it; Brian Lamb's that kind of guy.

And after they're done asking questions, can these kids pretty please replace the Congressional majority's leadership for a few days? I'd expect better things of Speaker Jennifer, age 6, and Majority Leader Bobby, age 11, than we're getting from this current bunch.

During the weekly Democratic radio address yesterday, he said,

The purpose of the surge was to bring violence in Iraq down so that its leaders could come together politically. Violence has come down, but the Iraqis have not come together.

The eternally optimistic leader later added,

There is little evidence the Iraqis will settle their differences peacefully any time soon.

Although somewhat subdued this time, Senator Biden's comments are a clear preemptive strike against General Petraeus' scheduled report to congress this coming week. The democrat congressional leadership simply cannot weather another positive report about progress in Iraq.
