...Incoming House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, who orchestrated Jefferson's ouster from the powerful Ways and Means Committee even before the Democrats won back the House in November, seems unlikely to restore Jefferson to a position of influence, and Jefferson may find it harder to work with his Democratic colleagues as long as the clouds of suspicion follow him. "He looks like a person who will have political difficulties operating in the House, and that's not good for his constituents," says Loyola University political scientist Ed Renwick.

Pelosi's commentary was a stirring reminder that there is much that binds us as individuals and as a nation, even as we may vehemently disagree about the proper approach to the serious questions facing our nation. Ultimately, Pelosi makes it undeniably clear that George W. Bush and Nancy Pelosi have faced similar challenges within the political process, and both have paid a price for reaching their respective mountaintops. Most important, one finishes the commentary believing that Bush and Speaker...
