Finally. Finally, Nancy shows some spine. After years of backing down on everything from the timetable for withdrawal from Iraq to impeachment being off the table, Pelosi finally tells the truth. You’re right, Nancy. Bush has been a total failure. In every aspect of his presidency: the economy, War, women’s issues, poverty, regulation. EVERYTHING. I was saying that back in 04.
Glad to see you finally grew a sack, Nance. And it only took you to 16 weeks before the election to do it! Way to go!!! It couldn’t be that Congressional approval ratings are even worse than Bush’s right now, could it? Bush holding steady at 23-28% (now those mofo’s are some KoolAid drinkers!) while Congress holds and abysmal 18% approval. 70% of Americans think that you’re doing a terrible job, Nancy!!
And while I agree that Bush has been a total failure, your rubber-stamping and bending over and taking it from him did not help: you let him win on Iraq, on FISA (you actually gave him even more than he asked for!!!), on basically everything. Let’s hope Obama in the White House will help along some real Democratic ideals instead of y’all losing yourselves in political gamesmanship and do-nothingness. Because we gave YOU the reins in 2006. And so far, YOU, Nancy, have been a total failure.

They’re such a disappointment, aren’t they? I was so amped up when we took back Congress and so far, meh. Nothing. What a letdown.

What Pelosi said was great, but her words would have had a lot more legitimacy to them if she’d actually fought Bush on any of the issues she mentioned.

I actually cried when Nancy took the oath. I had such high hopes in the democrats. They have definitely let us down.
Sinister, I have so much respect for you and your political knowledge. May I ask you, do you think Nancy, in acknowledging this, will make any difference in the long run? I really hope this is more than lip service.

Didn’t we decide that she has cooties?

It boggles the goddamn mind. I cannot contain any more frustration in this realm; it is like pouring a whole pot of coffee into one itty, bitty paper cup.

She did go to Syria though, much to the chagrin of the GOP… but aside from that *crickets*.

She slipped a “bless his heart” in there! Nice burn, Nancy. Where were you two years ago?

Will we ever send elected officials to Washington w/o their becoming the whores of special interests/lobbies?? I think both parties are so beholden to these powers it’s pitiful and scary.
