...House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, Waxman's fellow Californian, has tangled with Dingell many times in the past and even donated money to his Democratic-primary opponent in 2002. Last year she created a special task force on global warming - headed by her close ally Massachusetts Congressman Ed Markey - a move that was seen as an end run around Dingell.
