Seems my sources this ayem were incorrect. Politico reports that Henry Waxman has won the Energy Committee gavel, unseating John Dingell from the perch he has held since 1981.
Update:
The vote was 137-122 by secret ballot. Edolphus Towns now succeeds Waxman at the helm of the Oversight Committee. All in all it has been a terrible week for Detroit: their pleas for a bailout fell on deaf (and in some cases hostile) ears and their greatest champion has now lost his soapbox.
