Things Madame Speaker could have done instead of writing a book -
- cut off war funding
- hold impeachment hearings
- go to court to enforce Congressional subpoenas
- hold hearings on Gitmo prisoner abuses
- hold hearings on violations of international treaties
- increase funding for and develop an energy strategy before the crisis hit
- homeland security oversight hearings
- increase funding for alternate fuels
- increase auto mileage standards
- expand and improve medicare drug benefit
- accelerate and further increase minimum wage
- all the things you promised in '06
- campaign for the ticket rather than promote a ghost written vanity book (you're a millionaire - - you don't need the money)
- generally, pass legislation popular with the public, and then blame the lack of enactment on Republican senate fillibusters and Republican presidential vetos
Anyone else have any suggestions for what Nancy should have done?
