The PI: "Since the new 'hawk' system was announced by House Republicans, we've been doing a little ornithology." - I love it.
From the 01-13-05 PI:
Our high-powered binoculars have spotted thrushes and sparrows, but no other hawks
Since the new "hawk" system was announced by House Republicans, we've been doing a little ornithology.
From what we can determine, the Georgia bird-of-prey committee operation may have no equal. In no other state legislature is a Speaker allowed the same, overt leeway to swing votes his way on a day-to-day basis.
[I guarantee there is no equal. It is dumb. Stupid. Unheard of. No logic. The Czar wants to be a dictator, and his subjects voted to allow him to be such.]
On second thought, Democrats see Republicans in the cross-hairs
The hawk system is all the talk among Democrats, mostly derisive. State Rep. Darryl Jordan of Riverdale, a history teacher, was eager Wednesday to spread the description he'd coined for GOP management: "Banana Republican."
But with Democrats a solid minority on House committees, many of them have wondered why the hawk system is even necessary.
Many Democrats — and a few moderates on the other side of the aisle — have come to the conclusion that it isn't aimed at them at all. That it's designed to keep straying Republicans from breaking ranks and brokering deals with Democrats.
