You could use that same "logic" on 434 other members most with more seniority and a faster track to leadership. This reminds me of the box some tried to place Speaker Pelosi regarding her knowledge of torture back in 2003 as if she was being blackmailed and thus enabled the Iraq fiasco...when she wasn't even the Democratic leader yet Speaker and, as I posted earlier, operated in a House that was run more like a syndicate than a legislative body. Rules were so contorted that Democrats couldn't even hold hearing except in the basement and their mikes were constantly cut off. And you're saying that a country spent both money and human resources trying to compromise a relatively new and unknown Representative because one day she could rise in the party that appeared to be stuck in the minority for years to come?

Besides the fact that it appears Ms. Edmonds claims about the death of Congressman Schakowsky's mother is off by a mere 13 years kinda makes one go hmm. I was more interested in hearing what she teased about Gym Teach Denny...who was Speaker of the House and was far more corrupatble. Again...going after Schakowsky in 2000 makes little sense.
