House Speaker-to-be Nancy Pelosi has decided that the impeached judge, Rep. Alcee Hastings, will not become the next chairman of the House Intelligence Committee.

Rep. Melvin Watt
(D-N.C.), chairman of the Congressional Black Caucus, voiced
disappointment, saying in a statement that Hastings “would have made an
outstanding Intelligence Chairman.”

In unrelated developments, Watt also said he thought Michael Richards would have made an excellent civil rights leader and Elizabeth Taylor would have been a great marriage counselor.
