Moranic Behavior

Nancy covers for Renegade Jim. PLUS: Mel Martinez's Florida future.
p> NANCY AND THE RENEGADE br> According to a Democratic House leadership staffer, leader Nancy Pelosi declined the requests of several moderate Democrats, Reps. Steny Hoyer and Martin Frost included, to begin increasing the heat on Virginia Rep. Jim Moran for his anti-Semitic comments made to a community group last week. /p>

"They wanted her to begin doing to him what Republicans did to Senator Lott, begin pushing him out," says the staffer. "But she wouldn't do it."

Pelosi, like Moran, is now very visibly opposed to the Bush Iraq policy, and thus far has refused almost every moderate entreaty for her to be more moderate herself in her leadership style.

"All she cares about is the liberal wing of her caucus, the rest of us are just along for the ride, I guess," says a moderate House member.
