Wait? is it just me or did the Democrats impeach him http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alc… and know they are considering him for head of the Intelligence Committee?
Hypocrisy at work once again. It'll be interesting to see how this BS folds out in the near future.

Are you fucking kidding me? Take a listen. He was impeached for taking a bribe. How in the fuck are you going to leave that cat in charge of intelligence?
Ethics, Nancy Pelosi?

Damn,
"Hastings was convicted on Article 1. Among those voting to convict were Sens. Harry Reid, Edward Kennedy, John Kerry, Jay Rockefeller (who will soon chair the Senate Intelligence Committee), Robert Byrd, Max Baucus, Kent Conrad, Daniel Inouye, and Frank Lautenberg."
Some big names.

Clinton Pardoned Hastings’s Co-Conspirator
The pardon documents listed Borders’s crime this way: “Conspiracy to corruptly solicit and accept money in return for influencing the official acts of a federal district court judge (Alcee L. Hastings), and to defraud the United States in connection with the performance of lawful government functions; corruptly influencing, obstructing, impeding and endeavoring to influence, obstruct and impede the due administration of justice, and aiding and abetting therein; traveling interstate with intent to commit bribery.” The document did not mention Borders’s contempt. (That same day, Clinton also pardoned another contemnor, Whitewater figure Susan McDougal, who went to jail rather than reveal whether the president testified truthfully at her trial.)
