The only quibble I have is the stupidity of limiting eligibility to &#8220;progressive citizens or journalists,&#8221; which they define as &#8220;To qualify as a &#8220;progressive&#8221; citizen or journalist, you must be active with a known progressive group or news organization or website (including <a href=\"http:\/\/democrats.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Democrats.com<\/a>). Your activity can be as limited as volunteering or posting comments.&#8221; Why would reporting by a right-wing, moderate or apolitical citizen not be worth having? For that matter, by this definition, posting an angry comment on democrats.com complaining about this dumb rule would automatically make you eligible.<\/p>\n<p>Thanks to <a href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/jayrosen_nyu\">Jay Rosen<\/a> for tweeting this.<\/p>\n<p>Image: Nancy Pelosi at 30th Anniversary of Silicon Valley Leadership Group, June 2, 2008.<br \/>\nBy <a href=\"http:\/\/flickr.com\/photos\/orin\/\"><strong>Orin<\/strong><\/a> via <a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\">Flickr<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/creativecommons.org\/licenses\/by-nc-nd\/2.0\/\" title=\"Click this link to find out details of the Creative Commons license associated with this image.\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/creativecommons.org\/images\/public\/somerights20.gif\" alt=\"There is a Creative Commons license attached to this image.\" height=\"31\" width=\"88\" \/><\/a>   \t\t\t<span class=\"ccIcn\"><a href=\"http:\/\/creativecommons.org\/licenses\/by-nc-nd\/2.0\/deed.en\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/l.yimg.com\/g\/images\/cc_icon_attribution.gif\" alt=\"Attribution\" border=\"0\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/l.yimg.com\/g\/images\/cc_icon_noncomm.gif\" alt=\"Noncommercial\" border=\"0\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/l.yimg.com\/g\/images\/cc_icon_noderivs.gif\" alt=\"No Derivative Works\" border=\"0\" \/><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Great challenge for citizens or journalists &#8211; get Speaker Nancy Pelosi to explain in detail why she doesn&#8217;t think even one of the three dozen transgressions described by Denis Kucinich in House Resolution H.
