Eviler than Hillary

It is quite a spectacle to watch the House GOP lurching towards a "truth commission" on Bush's torture policies in their zeal to paint Nancy Pelosi as "complicit" in those policies. The logic, if you can call it that, is pretty simple for the geniuses: while Pelosi has about as much name recognition in American homes as does the Minister of Environment and Spatial Planning in the Balkenende government, the name "Pelosi" seems to drive the GOP's base into shrill, unholy fury.
