Congressional Leader Resigns after Ill Chosen Words

The Congressional leader was Trent Lott who resigned as Senate Majority Leader after a brouhaha over his complimentary remarks to Strom Thurmond at the latter's 100th birthday party.

That was 2002, this is 2009. Now we have Nancy Pelosi, two heart beats away from the presidency, who not only lies, but is caught in her lies. When the heat from the media begins to get uncomfortable for her, she takes off to comfort the troops in Iraq at taxpayers' expense. And most important, she keeps her Congressional leadership position.

What happened to our vicious watch dog press?
