Nancy Pelosi is acting like a junkie who gets caught. " Please, she is crying, just one more hit and I will go into rehab tomorrow." In her case it is a promise to president Obama that after this Omnibus bill she promises to sit down with the president and work on ending earmarks.
“After we get through the omnibus . . . then we can work with the administration to see what else we can do. But the idea is lower number, more transparency, total accountability,”
Gee Ms Pelosi, why AFTER? If you believe in fewer earmarks and more accountiblity why then did you cuss out the Democratic Senate ledership when they couldn't get the bill passed Thursday night? If you were so in favor of transparency why did you force a vote on the stimulus package before anyone had a chance to read the dammend thing?
As upset I am with Pelosi for her lies about earmarks, I am even more upset with the members of my own party who have tons of earmarks in the bill. The congressman with the most earmarks in the bill Ron Paul , R-Texas, who touted his fiscal conservatism in his bid for the GOP presidential nomination last year, was the top House Republican earmark recipient in the omnibus. Paul, who routinely votes against spending measures, got $73.7 million in earmarks, according to Taxpayers for Common Sense.

“So this whole thing from the Republican side about earmarks is so disingenuous,” Pelosi said.
Does any one believe that Pelosi even knows what disingenuous means?
A shining example of SF politics.
I wonder if she is has ever read the Constitution. So much for faithfully executing her duties.
I have serious doubts that Pelosi can even read, it is obvious that she suffers from some sort of retardation.
(No offense meant to people who also suffer from retardation.)
Brain damage is more likely.
“In her case it is a promise to president Obama that after this Omnibus bill she promises to sit down with the president and work on ending earmarks.”
Cool, I’m gonna go watch monkies fly out of her ass next week.
The last thing I'm going to be watching next week is Nancy Pelosi's backside. It's nearly as "butt-ugly" as her front side.
