Dingell Out, Waxman In (global warming, Democrats, Bush, political)

[TigerLily24]

Maybe the Democrats are finally getting their act together:

"Waxman has been the top Democrat on the Oversight and Government Reform Committee for the last 12 years. Since Waxman became chairman of that panel two years ago, it has taken the Bush administration to task over global warming and allegations that it muzzled government scientists. It also has investigated the White House's political operation, the use of steroids in sports and, most recently, abuses behind the financial collapse.

Dingell, 82, has been the committee's top Democrat for 28 years and is an important ally of automakers and electric utilities. He's considered one of the House's premier legislators, with a lengthy track record on health, consumer issues and the environment, among other things."

I hope it makes a difference. What to do about the auto industry is a really tough problem.
