A way out for Nancy

House Intelligence Chair could be Harman, Hastings, Silvestre, or Holt, or. . . Bishop.

From Kausfile, a seemingly no-lose solution for the sticky situation Nancy Pelosi has gotten herself into:

Amy Holmes, appearing on Hannity and Colmes, came up with a more ingenious solution: Pelosi could reach out and give the job to Rep. Sanford Bishop. Why Bishop? Because CBC’s original beef with Harman, according to the LAT, is that when Harman returned to Congress in 2001, after a failed run for governor, she was awarded all the seniority she’d acquired from an earlier stint in the House. As a result, she vaulted over Hastings and bumped another black Congressman off the intelligence committee. The name of the bumped black Congressman: Sanford Bishop. Pelosi would be correcting an old injustice. Bonus factor: Bishop’s a Blue Dog!

My guess is a lot of feelings would still be hurt but that’s a risk the big dog has to take. Right, Nancy?
