Idle thoughts of a relatively libertarian Republican in Cambridge, MA, and whomever he invites. Mostly political.

Friday, November 08, 2002 :::
John J. Miller writes about Nancy Pelosi, who is likely to be the next House minority leader, at National Review Online.
Pelosi voted against the recent war resolution. She also came out against the Gulf War a decade ago. Neither of these is an especially remarkable position for a liberal Democrat to take. Pelosi, however, made the latter one remarkable when she based her opposition to the war on the environment: "While we are gravely concerned about the loss of life from combat in the Persian Gulf War, environmental consequences of the war are as important to the people there as the air they breathe and the water they drink."
Isn't this exactly the kind of person conservatives would like to see the Democrats put forward as their leading spokesman (oops! spokeswoman) in the House?
As Glenn Reynolds would say, that seems about right.
