		<description><![CDATA[That was really nice of the House Democratic leadership to give Bouchard in particular some decent House Committee assignments so he could distinguish and build himself up in front of the electorate in his district, which he only *barely* won.  After all, he needs help to build up his profile before he stands for re-election in two years.

Wait, Science and Technology?  Agriculture, Chesapeake and Natural Resources?  That&#039;s all he got?!  That&#039;s the best they can do to help a vulnerable Freshman!?!

Well, I guess it could have been worse.  

They could have hid the body of a dead prostitute in the trunk of his car or something.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Excellent assignments for our new Senators.  Very well suited to them.

Mathieson&#039;s not on Public Safety.  Ridiculous.  Ah welll... that&#039;s what happens when you&#039;re in the minority party.

And too bad Bouchard&#039;s not on the Transportation committee.  He really gets it.]]></description>
