Naive?

I think I must be naive.

I can't think of any other reason for my surprise on Election night when I heard one of NPR's commentators discussing the fact that Nancy Pelosi was indicating that her speakership would be more civil than Dennis Hastert's term has been.

No, that's not what surprised me . . .

It seems that while the Republicans were in control of the House, it was standard operating procedure to either not tell Democratic committee members where committees were meeting or even when committees were meeting.

I find this appalling.

I also find it appalling that I had never heard this until Election Night.

Is it naive to believe this to be newsworthy?

Nevermind. Of course it is. This is politics, after all.
