Nancy Pelosi wants even split on new Benghazi committee

From Instapundit:

BUT OF COURSE SHE DOES: Nancy Pelosi wants even split on new #Benghazi committee — unlike committee she picked when Speaker, Byron York writes at the Washington Examiner.

In 2007, the House created a Select Committee on Energy Independence and Global Warming. As Speaker, Pelosi set up the structure. There were nine Democrats and six Republicans. "The House has a long history of creating Select Committees focused on crucial issues," Pelosi said in a statement. "With a large number of committees exercising jurisdiction over issues affecting energy and climate, the Select Committee will provide the coordination of information on these critical issues."

Now Pelosi wants an even split between the parties. And that is if Democrats even participate. In her statement today, Pelosi said the new Benghazi committee "should require that witnesses are called and interviewed, subpoenas are issued, and information is shared on a bipartisan basis. Only then could it be fair." Pelosi seemed to indicate that Democrats will take part in the select committee, but other Democrats are calling for their party to boycott the panel. As it turns out, Pelosi has a record of doing just that.

However, “Elections have consequences,” Moe Lane writes, linking to a CNN report that says, “House Republicans have decided the select committee to investigate the Benghazi terror attack will include seven Republicans and five Democrats, according to two senior House GOP leadership aides.”

I know most Democrats aren't very smart or understand math. 9 does not equal 6, ever.
