Nancy Pelosi: Queen of the Congressional Fools

House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) and the same nitwit who actually said:

"We have to pass the (Healthcare) bill so that you can find out what's in it."

   and

"The American people voted to restore integrity and honesty in Washington DC, and the Democrats intend to lead the most honest, most open and most ethical Congress in history" ...

Has now said,  

“It can clearly be labeled the Republican do-nothing Congress. It’s a year of missed opportunities and made-up crises.”

Well, Nancy, The Republicans are trying to rectify / amend / undo / neutralize the damage that the screwed-up Dummycrat-controlled Congress (Senate AND House) perpetuated on the American people when you presided over the House.


And the last time I checked, the Dummycrats control the Senate.

Nancy Pelosi: Loser

Yes, indeed.

Ms. Pelosi has lost the Speakership of the House and now, apparently, her mind.

In a 'farewell' speech, Ms. Pelosi actually said, "Deficent reduction has been a priority for us."

Really? The current deficit is over $1,000,000,000,000 - that's one trillion -  and counting.

Some priority.

But wait. It gets better.

Ms. Pelosi declared that "Pay as you go" had been their mantra and "That will change".

Is she >insert whatever politically correct word you want to use to describe someone as "batshit crazy"< ?

No. But she thinks we are and no doubt some people will believe her incredible bullshit.

Pelosi: Speaker of Lies

Remember this?

“This leadership team will create the most honest, most open, and most ethical Congress in history”

– Speaker-Elect Nancy Pelosi (D-CA), November, 2006 

Remember this?:

Civility and Bipartisanship?   Restoring integrity and honesty?

Well.

Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi's home district includes San Francisco.

Star-Kist Tuna's headquarters are in San Francisco, Pelosi's home district.  

Star-Kist is owned by Del Monte Foods and is a major contributor to Pelosi. 

Star-Kist is the major employer in American Samoa employing 75% of the Samoan workforce.

Paul Pelosi, Nancy's husband, owns $17 million dollars of Del Monte stock.

In January, 2007 when the minimum wage was increased from $5.15 to $7.25, Pelosi had American Samoa exempted from the increase so Del Monte would not have to pay the higher wage. This would make Del Monte products less expensive than their competition's.

When the huge bailout bill was passed, Pelosi added an earmark to the final bill adding $33 million dollars for an 'economic development credit in American Samoa.

Pelosi has called the Bush Administration 'corrupt'.

She should know.

$940 Billion

That's the newly announced price tag on the Health Care reform bill.

It's supposed to somehow reduce the deficit.


Obummer has whined to Dummycrats that his presidency depends on passing health care reform - this year.

And so, Madame Pelosi has urged the Dummycrats to sacrifce their jobs, if need be, to pass this legislation, which nobody with a working brain cell wants (in its current form).    Let's start with her job.

The POTUS and Congress have forsaken every other issue - the economy, jobs, foreign policy (well, except for Israel which Obummer has pretty much thrown under the Hope'n Change bus), terrorism, and, oh yeah, that pesky war in Afghanistan, in order to concentrate on health care reform.

I guess community organizers aren't good at multi-tasking or organizing a government?

The Dummycrat Two-Step

The dance is being led by President Two-Face. Then:

“I need you to go out and talk to your friends and talk to your neighbors. I want you to talk to them whether they are independent or whether they are Republican. I want you to argue with them and get in their face,” Senator Obama told his supporters on the campaign trail in fall of 2008.

Now: The Democratic National Committee has dismissed the town hall (health care) protests as "mob rule" .

The White House has called the uproar at recent town halls on health care “manufactured outrage.” Senator Harry Reid calls the concerned citizens speaking their minds “loud, shrill voices.” Nancy Pelosi called protesters Nazis, who are "carrying swastikas and symbols like that to a town meeting on health care." There is no evidence on this whatsoever. --Andrea Tantaros

From Hot Air:

* Asking Representatives and Senators to read bills before voting on them is "killing democracy".

* Sen. Specter saying “we have to make judgments very fast” is awesome. Booing him for saying so is shutting off debate.

* Healthcare protesters are thugs shutting off debate; antiwar protesters are “rowdy.”

Are you paying attention yet?

 

Snake in The House

"House Speaker Nancy Pelosi recently told a group of both legal and illegal immigrants and their families that enforcement of existing immigration laws, as currently practiced, is "un-American."

-- Fox News

I'll tell you what is un-American. SEDITION

I'll tell you what is very scary.
This seditious idiot is 3nd in line for the presidentcy.

Snake on a Plane (and Elsewhere)

  California Democrat Nancy Pelosi assumed leadership of the House of Representatives 10 months ago, promising to enact serious, and long overdue, ethical reforms -- to stop the growing trend of legislators and their families accepting gifts, trips, and jobs from lobbyists and corporations, and proposed "a new direction" for America.  

Apparently that new direction has taken some detours. 

 1) The plane, Boss, the plane:

  The Speaker of the House, 2nd in line for the presidency (after the VP), has been provided a government jet for official business use since the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks because of security concerns. 

 Former Republican Speaker Dennis Hastert used a military 12-seat jet to carry him mainly from Washington's Andrews Air Force Base to airports near his home district in Chicago's suburbs. 

 But Ms Pelosi needs a bigger plane, large enough to carry Democratic "supporters" (= family & lobbyists) and Pelosi staff non-stop cross country. The concern apparently included the desire that Pelosi's plane not land for refueling. Pelosi: "It has everything to do with security". 

 Uh-huh.  

 Rep. Adam Putnam (R-FL) called it "Air Force Three" and said it shows "an arrogance of office that just defies common sense".  

 Then, of course Rep. John Murtha, who chairs the House Military Appropriations subcommittee, got into the act, saying he spoke to Pentagon officials about the need to provide Pelosi with a bigger plane that can fly passengers coast to coast in comfort. But the House Bully-boy denied pressuring the Pentagon. "I don't need to pressure them. I just tell them what they need to do." 

  2) Junior gets a job: 

 In February '07, shortly after his mother became the first woman speaker, Paul Pelosi Jr., was hired by InfoUSA for $180,000 a year as its VP for Strategic Planning. 

 Unlike all of the other InfoUSA employees, he did not report to work at the company's headquarters in Omaha, Nebraska.  

 InfoUSA is the same company that has been cited by the New York Times for creating marketing lists that were used by con artists to fleece vulnerable elderly people.  

 Oh, and BTW, Bill Clinton also works as a consultant for InfoUSA, for which Bubba was paid $3.3 million over the past five years. And the Clintons got $900,000 worth of free travel. 

 Mama Pelosi insisted that Junior's job opportunity had nothing to do with his influential mother. He just sent in an application for a job and they hired him. 

 Uh-huh. 

 3) Nancy Meddles in the Middle East:   Ms Pelosi, elected to office by a single voting district, took it upon herself to meddle, unasked, in foreign policy by meeting with Bashar al-Assad, Syria's terrorist-president-dictator, in Damascus.  

 Then Ms. Pelosi announced that she had delivered a message to Assad from Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert that "Israel was ready to engage in peace talks" with Syria. And, she added, Mr. Assad was ready to "resume the peace process" as well. Ms. Pelosi even suggested that her shuttle diplomacy was just getting started. Problem: There was no such message from the Israeli prime minister. A statement issued by the Israeli prime minister's office indicated that "What was communicated to the U.S. House Speaker does not contain any change in the policies of Israel". 

 In fact, Mr. Olmert told Ms. Pelosi that "a number of Senate and House members who recently visited Damascus received the impression that despite the declarations of Bashar Assad, there is no change in the position of his country regarding a possible peace process with Israel".  

 Ex-President Jimmy Carter supported Ms Pelosi's trip, which is itself enough reason to condemn it. 

 4) The Genocide Resolution: 

  Dimwit Dems came up with a controversial resolution to affirm the 1915 massacre of Armenians by Ottoman Turks as genocide. Ninety-two years ago. 

  It was a 'symbolic' resolution. Turkey happens to be an important American ally. We haven't got many of those and you would think it fairly important to not piss off the ones we do have.  

  Newly installed chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Adm. Michael Mullen, tried to calm tensions by phoning his Turkish counterpart.  

  All eight living former secretaries of state signed a joint letter to Pelosi warning that the non-binding resolution "would endanger our national security interests."

  Three former defense secretaries, in their own letter, said Turkey probably would cut off U.S. access to a critical air base. 

  But, expert advice be damned, Ms Pelosi intends to move ahead with a full vote on this incredibly idiotic resolution.  

 Oh, wait. Ms Pelosi has many Armenian-Americans in her California congressional district who have pushed similar proposals for years.  

  So, Ms Pelosi disregards national security and American foreign policy in the interests of playing to a small, localized interest group in her voting district. 

   I wonder how many people actually know that this idiot is 2nd in line (after the VP) for the Presidency?
