Who was House leader
before Newt engineered the '94 Republican takeover? You have 10
seconds.

If you said Tom Foley, then you'd be wrong, chitlin breath.
The answer is, the Congressional Black Caucus controlled the
House. Because they are able to maintain solidarity, they
successfully ruled the roost, much to the nation's great
horror. We're talking Sheila Jackson Lee, John Lewis,
William J. Jefferson, Maxine Waters ... . AWK!
With approximately 40 members in the 110th Congress, they once again
hold the balance of power, and it looks like their first demand, that
Nancy Pelosi replace ranking member Jane Harmon, whom she hates, as
Chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, with Alcee Hastings will
be met. Wonderful. Perhaps the most sensitive committee in
Congress will be in the hands of an impeached federal judge, who
escaped prison for the same reason O.J. Simpson did. It will only
get better folks. It's been a long time since we've been treated
to floor speeches
like this. Pass the freaking popcorn. Did someone say
Reparations?
