Sirota's hoppin' mad about the sellout by the CAFTA 15. Anyone one of whom cast the deciding vote in the one vote passage of CAFTA. He's "Targeting the 15 Democratic sellouts" over at Working Assets blog and reporting Dem Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi "Steps Up & Demands Accountability" on his SirotaBlog...
Roll Call has a new report up about... Nancy Pelosi (D) holding an emergency meeting of the House Democratic Steering Committee tonight to discuss formal sanctions against the 15 Democrats who sold out their party and voted for the corporate-written Central American Free Trade Agreement (CAFTA). Pelosi raised "the likelihood that defectors' committee assignments would be reviewed at tonight’s meeting of the Steering Committee." That's absolutely necessary - why should Democrats who undermine their party be given plum committee assignments over other, far more loyal and principled Democrats? Pelosi should be commended for her courage - and now she needs to back up her words with action. The story goes on to note that "Several Democratic sources said Pelosi and other House leaders are particularly upset with New York Reps. Greg Meeks and Ed Towns, members of exclusive committees with safe seats, who voted for CAFTA...."
Hey! Might we have an evolving Nancy "The Hammer" Pelosi? Ready and willing to pound in a lil' party discipline? "Bout time... She's also hinting their might be some Ethics Committee action coming down the pipe regarding the dirty dealings of the Republican leadership during the CAFTA vote proceedings.
