Brief comments on the new anti-Pelosi letter

In case you have missed this, here's the story at Roll Call.  Will Pelosi become Speaker again?  Betting at PredictIt still has shares trading at 84 cents on the dollar as of this morning.  Here's the quick-and-dirty.  The letter signatories still don't have either a) a case to make against Pelosi herself, or b) an alternative, given that Fudge hasn't even made a formal decision to challenge her.

At least when the teabaggers removed Boehner, they had a case to make against him.  It was a stupid case, but it was a case.  They thought that he wasn't confrontational enough, and that a more aggressive approach would yield more.  They thought he was a sell-out because they didn't understand institutional constraints, and they didn't like the fact that they weren't getting the results they expected.  It was an uninformed case, but it was a policy-based case.

What have we learned?  The anti-Pelosi Democrats are dumber than the Tea Party.  Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you... the Democratic Party.
