Pelosi isn't stupid (enough) unfortunatly, and McKinney is not only a liberal leftist but also an ass.
If you noticed, Pelosi isn't defending her, and apparently the 2 aren't on speaking terms (personally, I think Pelosi wanted that started as a rumor, but its clear Pelosi would sell out McKinney).
The GOP should make McKinney the poster child for the democratic party the way the dems wanted Delay or Abramhof to be the poster kids for the GOP.
Pelosi at first did defend her.
Pelosi's first reaction was that it was no big deal.
Then republicans brought the issue to the floor praising capitol police and hastert asked pelosi how many times would an officer have to be hit for it to be a big deal.
The biggest GOP problem is that they are not highlighting the fact that their opposition are a bunch of radical nuts.
I wonder if people in southern indiana know that by voting for democrats they will get radical commie john conyers as chairmen of the judiciary.
The dem leadership in the house is the most radical leadership in the history of congress.
Conyers, Pelosi, Rangel, Frank, Waxman, Slaughter replacing harman next year.
These people are moonbats.
