Could Pelosi have done something else? Maybe -- the story doesn't try to explain why Jefferson is getting this seat.

The voters returned him to office, and I think everyone has to be put somewhere -- it's not like they put him in a position where he handles cash (or budgeting, or appropriations). What committees would you put him on, Slave?
