Rep. Hastings Will Not Chair Intelligence Panel

From an e-mail alert just sent by CongressDaily:

After meeting with House Speaker-elect Nancy Pelosi this afternoon, Rep. Alcee Hastings, D-Fla., issued a statement confirming he will not serve as chairman of the House Intelligence Committee.

"I have been informed by the Speaker-elect that I will not serve as the chairman of the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence in the 110th Congress," he said. "I am obviously disappointed with this decision."

Hastings won election to Congress in 1992, after having been impeached and removed from office as a federal judge. He concluded his statement by saying, "Sorry, haters, God is not finished with me yet."

Bloggers who opposed his ascendancy to the chairmanship no doubt will be pleased.
