According to Bob Novak, Representative Jeff Flake, of pork-busting fame, has been booted off the House Judiciary Committee. The official explanation by Minority "Fearless" Leader John Boehner is that Flake criticized the GOP leaderhisp on TV. The unofficial and more likely explanation is that his valiant efforts to fight wasteful spending annoyed the GOP members Barons of the House Appropriations Committee.

Truth be told, I have to agree with Boehner's decision to remove Flake from the Judiciary Committee. Flake should not have that kind of job. He should have Boehner's.
