W'all Ah Swan...

reading Joan Vennochi's column in today's Globe is a wonder indeed, apparently she is on both Seth Moulton and Nancy Pelosi's side in their coming struggle for the speakership of the US House.  Somehow the argument goes that having finally battled thru to a strong majority, Nancy Pelosi must now slay two more dragons before claiming her title...and that somehow is good for the democratic party.

Division is never good at a time like this, especially when the opposition is more or else united and dominated by an ambitious authoritarian spirit.

What the hell does a woman, especially an older woman, have to do to claim power in this meshugginah country??  Never has success been punished so relentlessly, but then again this is the USA old and female is always a target in the private sector, I've seen it happen a dozen times.

Frankly I think Moulton is out of line here, he has seemingly nationalized his perpetual fight against party insiders and various unelected elites.  Fine Seth, I get it, you primaried Tierney you beat the odds you think you don't own anyone, anything.  Thats not a license to make a transparent and cringeworthy bid to overturn the US House Leadership via ageism and sexism...cuz thats what is in play here.  I think congressperson Moulton was hoping that the democrats would lose the House this year and thus clear the way for his coup, now however he faces an opponent with resources to redistribute and the wind at her back.

I hope it's enough...
