For Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.), it’s a new week of old questions: What did she know about harsh Bush administration interrogation techniques, and when did she know it? Usually a master of message discipline, Pelosi has been thrown off balance by a mounting firestorm over whether she or her staff learned six years ago that intelligence officials were using extreme tactics such as waterboarding.
For weeks, the Speaker has insisted she didn’t, though a declassified report last week suggested otherwise. And Republicans, sensing a rare opportunity, are moving to keep the heat on the discrepancy over competing versions of what precisely was disclosed at the classified briefings in question. The GOP is demanding the CIA release more documents showing exactly what Pelosi was told in 2002...
Pelosi’s camp is braced for the buzz saw awaiting the Speaker upon her return today from a surprise trip to Iraq. Their strategy: stick to their script and blast the GOP attacks as a politically motivated attempt to distract from abuses sanctioned by the Bush administration....
Wherever the facts lie, some senior House Democratic aides are worrying about the political fallout of an extended she-said, they-said showdown between the Speaker and the CIA. “It’s awkward the way it’s coming out in dribs and drabs, but she’s staked out turf” that she now has to defend, one aide said.

Pelosi Knocked Off Her Game
...and her high horse...
“What a tangled web we weave, when we practice to deceive.”
“What did she know, and when did she stop knowing it?”
“Pelosi Knocked Off Her Game”
Opossum breathes a sigh of relief.
Waterboard Pelosi. Get the truth.
She’s on message. Just that the message keeps changing. But whatever it is at any particular time she’s on it.
As a smile comes over Newt’s face...
My God! She’s a WAR CRIMINAL!
He's also part of the same corrupt politial machine in Maryland that threw up Nancy Pelosi and her mafioso father decades ago.
He can't be trusted as far as you can see him.
If the Democrats won't clean up their party then it's up to us to get the job done.
Boy, a play on that Kerry line is a great gift, isn’t it? It fits almost any situation where someone is skirting (pun intended) the truth.
Good one!
The trip to Iraq was a most obvious diversionary tactic for this immensely vile woman.
The lie progression so far, as I understand it:
1: I wasn’t briefed on waterboarding
2: they didn’t tell me they’d actually USE those techniques
3: It wasn’t patriotic to protest at the time
4: I withheld my criticism out of respect for the system.
That's funny right there, don't care who ya are.
What is she doing in Iraq? No one wants her there. She seems to be always screwing something up because of her bigger than life “It’s all about me” attitude.
Wonder what the tab was for her Iraq junket ?
LOL! Where's Code Pink?
Where are the “so called” Republican leadership, screaming for this wicked witch’s resignation? Oh, that’s right, they’re all in hiding (backing more RINO’s like Crist for senate). Pathetic, the entire lot.
Yeah, where are they? they kinda fell off the radar didn’t they?
Very insightful. And I think you’re completely right. I believe that he is using what they want to accomplish—spend freely for all their constituent groups—because he’s too lazy to do any work himself. He wants to flit around the country earning brownie points for smiling. Until now, their desires have complimented his. But the minute they get in his way, they will personally understand his MO of throwing people under the bus. BO is a VERY dangerous man. Everyone should read about how Hitler got in power and stayed there.
‘bamy’d throw her under the bus too if she got in the way of his destruction of America.
Grassley, Bond, Lugar, etc ? Probably down for their naps.
That reminds me, did she ever get her personal government/tax payer funded B757 at her beck and call as she had demanded?
How about, in her case, “what didn’t she know, and when
didn’t she know it?”
Liar, Liar, political rants on fire
her nose job is longer than a telephone wire....
reparaphrased from The Castaways 1960’s hit
This is why, even though the repubs ain’t the best, the
sanctimonious posturing of these phony democrat(p)s is
way more than I can handle.
It probably will be someone on Obie’s side that produces the real bc.
Yep, there she goes again off pretending she means something.
I’m mildly surprised it’s taken this long to catch her at something she needed to answer for. She’s never struck me as an overly bright individual.
Correctamundo. First there was oversight, then there wasn't, then it was all Bush's fault. So who exactly were all those legal papers for, anyway?
Isn’t karma a wonderful thing.
