[MRM]

Pelosi is a bare knuckle brawler of the old time politician mold. She makes it a point to reward her friends and punish her enemies. Murtha stuck his neck out for her and helped her become minority leader when the title didn't mean much and he had more clout than her because of his seniority. Meanwhile, the current number two challenged her in some way a few years back. I forgot the details. Anyway, to clean house she's trying to purge the old guy and bring in her friends, starting with Murtha. It really doesnt have anything to do with his stands on anything except the war.
