The Dems now control both Houses of Congress.

The 110th Congress convened Thursday with Democrats in control of both the House and Senate for the first time in a dozen years. "Today we make history. Today we change the direction of our country," exulted Rep. Nancy Pelosi, poised to become the first woman speaker in history.

With her grandchildren joining her for the historic moment, Pelosi beamed as her name was placed in nomination and the party-line roll call commenced.

I cannot help but notice the difference in how the AP treats this power change as opposed to the 1994 shift of partisan control.

Dingell administered the same oath to former Speaker Newt Gingrich, R- Ga., 12 years ago when Republicans seized the House after 40 years of Democratic control _ and he's set to get back his gavel as the chairman of the House Energy and Commerce Committee.

Democrats are “in control”; Republicans “seize power”. No bias in that language – none at all.

MORE COVERGE of this national tragedy.
