Rep. Maurice Hinchey (D-NY) pleaded no contest Jan. 5 to a charge of carrying a loaded handgun in his baggage at Washington National Airport and was given a "suspended imposition of sentence."

If the Democrats want to have Pelosi as a minority leader, fine with me. I'm sure she will be as fine a target for voters as she was in 2010.
