Alcee Hastings Drops Out (Good Riddance)

Powerline:

It looks like Nancy Pelosi has made the sound decision not to have Rep. Alcee Hastings chair the House intelligence committee. Hastings, of course, was impeached and then removed from a federal judgeship in 1989 based on allegations that he had solicited bribes, so Pelosi's decision should have been a no-brainer.

Of course, it wasn't a no-brainer since Dems have no morals and therefore see nothing wrong with corruption. This is great news, however, as Glenn Reynolds puts it:

That's bad news for the GOP, but good news for the Democrats, and the country.
