Nancy Pelosi Had A Pretty Simple Response To Ted Cruz's Bizarre 'SNL' Claim

House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) had a pretty simple response to to Sen. Ted Cruz's (R-Texas) claim that a proposed constitutional amendment intended to reverse the Supreme Court's 2010 Citizens United decision could put "Saturday Night Live" creator Lorne Michaels in jail.

He called the proposal -- which would give Congress and states more power to regulate campaign financing -- "extraordinary," "breathtaking" and "dangerous," saying it threatens First Amendment protections.

"I don't know if he didn't know what he was talking about, or if he intentionally wanted to use a scare tactic, but that is as far from the truth as it could be," Pelosi told Meyers, who said he "can't do time" in jail....

Pelosi is a loon. She’s gone over the edge. Is Harry Reid still conscious? Haven’t heard much from old Hopalong.

Hairy Roid is pretty active on twitter.

Just today he declared that there will be no Yucca Mountain while he’s still living.

It had to be simple if it came from her. She is a simpleton.

Democrat insanity is chic among the rich white liberals and poor welfare/cheese eating uneducated and border crossers. And they breed like rats.

When did Yucca Mountain open, Reid’s brain has been dead for more than a decade.

This popinjay is certifiably crazy. She is in her seventies. At what point will all her benefactors admit she has dementia and premature Alzheimer's? If a republican made these comments, the lame street drive bys would be having a coronary.

Dear Nancy,

Anyone who has attained the position of Speaker of the House, and then has the unmitigated arrogance tell the American people that “we have to pass the bill so you can find out what’s in it,” should never again be taken seriously about anything.

So please just STFU. Honestly, you are as loony as the mad Queen of Hearts.

Sincerely,
Maceman

I say it's high time to get on with that then.

The comments at the site are disturbing in their ignorance.

soooo....that's the reason "he can't be thrown in jail"?

The more you hear of one of Nancys soundbites, the more confusing-er they gets
