Waxman topples Dingell – hope for energy future

Two big things to note on Henry Waxman’s ousting John Dingell as chair of the House Energy and Commerce Committee.

One is that Speaker Nancy Pelosi does have elbows, and she’ll use them. (Why she didn’t use them more on other issues in the past two years, lie Iraq withdrawal, is another subject.)

Two — a Big Three bailout on blank-check terms ain’t gonna happen. If Detroit wants help, it’s going to have to overhaul itself.
