Not only did McHenry break the long-held tradition and shared courtesy of retaining Pelosi's office for the former speaker, but he did so on a day the congresswoman was out of town mourning the death of a colleague. The GOP may enjoy petty disputes within its own party, but they shouldn't let this overflow into the personal lives of politicians on the other side.
