Pelosi: Economic Crisis Snuck Up on Little Cat's Feet
When I'm not throwing hatchets into my wall late at night, I listen to C-Span. Last night, I heard Speaker Pelosi's speech that ostensibly supports the bailout. She called the $700 billion figure "staggering" and "alarming." Of course, everything was the Republicans' fault. Yet the crisis snuck "up on us so silently, almost on little cat's feet."
Did she go to the Ron Angle School of Diplomacy? Seriously, why didn't she just throw a frickin' grenade?

You own views are appreciated, especially if they differ from mine. But remember, commenting is a privilege, not a right. I will delete personal attacks or off-topic remarks at my discretion. Comments that play into the tribalism that has consumed this nation will be declined. So will comments alleging voter fraud unless backed up by concrete evidence. If you attack someone personally, I expect you to identify yourself. I will delete criticisms of my comment policy, vulgarities, cut-and-paste jobs from other sources and any suggestion of violence towards anyone. I will also delete sweeping generalizations about mainstream parties or ideologies, i.e. identity politics. My decisions on these matters are made on a case by case basis, and may be affected by my mood that day, my access to the blog at the time the comment was made or other information that isn’t readily apparent.
I'm showing my ignorance of constitutional law here, but isn't she 3rd in line to the presidency?
ReplyDeleteIf that's true (and please correct me if I'm wrong) I'd wager more than a few people are praying for the health of Bush and Cheney right now.
I'd replace Bush in a heartbeat, this is not a pro-Bush statement, this is an anti-Pelosi statement. She's nuts.

She is #3. This is just a snippet. You should listen to the whole thing.
ReplyDeleteI don't know if I want to - just watching this clip was disturbing enough!
ReplyDeleteI will.

She just comes off as such a transparent hack.
ReplyDeleteOT. The Lord Pomfret Filet is overrated and the place smells like old lady. It's a perfect place to salute Nazareth's underachievers.
ReplyDeletePelosi is giving lip service to win over the Cindy Sheehan base.
ReplyDeleteOnly the Sheehan fans are not buying Democratic talking points. And rightfully so.
I voted for Nader in 2000 because he warned of all this 8 years ago.
I guess snuck up on us, over nearly ten years.
. . . on little cat's feet, too.
ReplyDeleteBernie,
ReplyDeleteWhat gets me about this story is how the media is ignoring her failure to lead on this very important issue. Leaders don’t engage in partisan harangues before an important vote, they set an example others want to follow. She fell well short of this standard and so did the media with their shameful coverage of this event.

What is even more scary than Pelosi being 3rd in line to the Presidency, would be Palin next to the Presidency with a very old President.
ReplyDeleteAre those Russian planes I see from my Porch?
Oh My!
Point taken.
ReplyDeleteHope and change are the buzz words of the Obama Campaign. These are verbs more commonly associated with faith than rational and/or analysis.
ReplyDeleteIn light of this I find your questioning of Palin's credentials as, at best, selective.
Scott Armstrong
I question anything that I please. Unlike my friends on the right who can only parrot dogma, I am not deluded by Obamam's aura or the reality of his experience.
ReplyDeleteIf you can honestly look at Sarah Palin and see a competent leader of the USA, then God Bless you and hopefully God will Bless this great Nation.
