| #15 Ryan is the thought leader of the opposition. For him not to be on this committee is to doom it to irrelevance. Just sayin'. Expect nothing, and get less. |

| #14 Ryan asked not to be appointed. He's more valuable in his Committee chairmanship |

| #10 Well, given the past record of Jawnny's "accomplishments" in the Senate, this thing should go absolutely nowhere. |

| #7 Wonder if any Tea Party members will be appointed from the House? They have been already demonized by Kerry. |

| #6 Looks like Baucus and Kerry from Finance, Murray from Budget and Appropriations. Why not Conrad and Inoue, the actual chairmen of those two committees? Kerry's *on* Finance, but his big Senate thing has always been Foreign Affairs, and his extremely limited intelligence and knowledge has mostly been applied in that direction. As others have pointed out, Murray's a nonentity, not really a fire-breather nor a notable centrist or pragmatist like Tester, Baucus, or Conrad. Kerry and Murray are basically clock-punchers on the relevant committees, there to make up the numbers for the majority party when it comes to a vote. |

| #4 Between Murray and JFn Kerry, LOTS of bloviation and grandstanding using ridiculous arguements and logic. A recipe for obstruction. |

| #3 Kerry?, was that a super committee or super wealthy committee. Just another bobble head. |

| #2 And Patty 'OBL was helping build schools and hospitals in A-Stan' Murray arguably the stupidest person in the Senate. |
