Result - The committee will consist of 9 dems, 11 rethugs, totally partisan whitewash. Total song and dance, dog and pony show.

Pelosi is standing her ground, will not designate members. She took the same strategy with the ethics committee.

Watch CSPAN now, 2 great dems from the "30 something working group" (Ryan, Meeks) discussing during evening business.
