Alcee You Later

Future House Speaker Nancy Pelosi decided not to step in it politically once again and has passed on the opportunity to promote impeached Federal judge and current congressman Alcee Hastings to the chairman of the Intelligence Committee. Hastings had a few parting words:

WASHINGTON (CNN) -- Rep. Alcee Hastings vowed Tuesday to play nice with House Speaker-designate Nancy Pelosi, D-California, after she passed him over to head the House Intelligence Committee. But not before the Florida congressman delivered a parting blow to critics of his chairmanship bid.

"Sorry, haters, God is not finished with me yet," Hastings said in a statement.

Hastings also said he will continue to seek "better and bigger" opportunities in the upcoming Congress.

I'm sure the Congressional Black Caucus will have a thing to say about this.
