Pelosi on Iran deal opponents: ‘Have they even read it?’
The Washington Times ^ | July 30, 2015 | Stephen Dinan

House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi wondered Thursday whether opponents of President Obama’s Iran nuclear program agreement read the deal before coming out in opposition to it, and said she’s certain she can keep enough Democrats in line to sustain an Obama veto and preserve his policy.

Praising both Mr. Obama and former President George W. Bush, who she said began building the international coalition that first imposed sanctions and then earlier this month agreed to the deal with Iran, Mrs. Pelosi said she was confident the opponents’ campaign to try to defeat the deal in Congress will fail.

She also questioned opponents’ motives.

“You wonder why. Have they even read it? It looks political to me,” she said.

She was quick to say she wasn’t questioning the sizable number of Democrats in Congress who appear to be leaning against the deal, saying she still respects them, saying her criticism was aimed only at unnamed outside groups.

Republicans have said they can’t read the entire deal because Mr. Obama hasn’t submitted all of it to them yet. They said full submission was a condition of the terms the president himself agreed to in signing the Iran Nuclear Agreement Review Act earlier this year, yet certain side agreements between the International Atomic Energy Agency and Iran haven’t been provided to Congress.

She said the deal was a “diplomatic masterpiece”

What an airhead. Just like 0bamacare was a "domestic masterpiece?"

Kinda hard to read something you’re hiding, ain’t it, Madame Pelosi.

Well, they read it more than you read the healthcare legislation.

They should ask her; Have you read it?

I’m guessing she’s for it and hasn’t read it. She’s the brilliant mind behind the ‘ we’ve gotta pass it before we know what is in it” statement. She is democrat first and foremost and American second (if then)

“She is democrat first and foremost and American second (if then).”

Well stated, and precisely correct. She is just like Hillary, and so many politicians. These are the kids who sat in the front row in school, with highlighters, and who took the SAT 8 times, after taking Kaplan 5 times and spending their summers with tutors. They just have to be special, except they're not - not anymore than anyone else. But they just have to be.

So, in light of the above, I would say that the order is Pelosi’s ego, the importance of Democrat power in the perpetuation of Pelosi’s ego (because it is precisely her role as an elected Democrat that defines her sense of self worth), and then everything else. I hope, very sincerely, that at the top of that list, before everything else, there is family. I'll give her the benefit of the doubt on that one.

One thing for certain, there is real doubt as to whether Nancy Pelosi CAN read. She shows little evidence of it.

‘have they even read it?’

DAMN PELOSI anti-American LIAR BI*CH!

this is the very same Pelosi who crammed ObamaCare down Congress’ throats WITHOUT LETTING OUR REPRESENTATIVES (OR US) EVEN READ THE BILL

AND NOW SHE KNOWS... THAT NOBODY CAN GET A COPY OF THE SECRET INSPECTION AND OTHER PROVISIONS OF OBAMA’S gift of Nuclear Bombs, ICBM’s, and $150 Billion to his Iranian IslamoNazi comrades

NO, Nancy, nobody’s read it...because (as you know) its being kept secret from Congress (Kerry just told them so! Just like you told them you wouldn’t let them read your Obamacare bill)

Scr@w you, Pelosi!!!!!

IIRC Kerry said something to that effect yesterday, basically “we’ll have to agree to the treaty to see if Iran will adhere to it.”

You have to turn it down to find out what’s in it.

You have to hand it to Nancy Pelosi.

No, not an 1890’s style Boris Badenov bomb with a lit fuse.

She really has a keen sense of comedic timing. To come up with “Have they even read it?” after her famous nonsensical statement about Obamacare is a sort of savantical genius.

Like the Rainman being about to count how many toothpicks were dropped.
