She is as competent, ambitious and driven a politician as they come.

LOL. Sunday morning humor.

She is as competent, ambitious and driven a politician as they come.

The author must be using one of the lesser-known meanings of the word "competent". You know, the one that means "not competent"...

[P-40]

Funny stuff!

Another delusional moronic reporter writing about what he saw in his wet dream and thinking it is true.

I don't believe these predictions, but I think we should pray fervently nonetheless.

[Suzy Quzy]

She's AMbitious and she's Driven but Competent??? LOL!!

"Rupert Cornwell writes for The Independent in Britain."

The Independent outdoes the rest of the British press in its raw hatred of the US and its promotion of the muslim line.

Muslim agent Robert Fisk writes for The Independent.

[plain talk]

I guess if Pelosi becomes Speaker its a sure thing Bush gets impeached. It would seem there would be no way to stop it since dems vote as a block.

I clicked on this thread thinking the three words would be "veto", "immigration" and "conservatism".

[WhiteGuy]

Bush's great fear: Three little words............


oops, I sharted...........

Another example of why I canceled my subscription to the PI ten years ago.

If Dems take the House, they will surely move to impeach. But this is why, in the end, they will not take the House, or even come close. When voters go in to the booth and must pull the lever for a Dem, more will balk than the pundits believe. Dems will pick up 6-8 seats; that's all. Only 2-3 in the Senate. We shouldn't be complacent, but Santorum will keep PA and Talent will win in MO. The other swing Senate seats I'm less sure, but the odds are that the Dems will take 3 max. The Republicans are close to even money in NJ, and would be odds on favorites were it not for the tendency for Dems in that State to pick up votes out of nowhere.

"She is as competent, ambitious and driven a politician as they come."

She is as INcompetent, ambitious and driven a politician as they come.

Much better

[jveritas]

The hate filled liberals and their media are too stupid to understand how fatal is Nancy Pelosi for them once she is exposed to the American public.

[teacherwoes]

>>Rarely have the stars been as favorably aligned

MSM using astrology now?

[Cold Heat]

Americans no longer buy the White House line that Iraq is the central front in the war on terror

Last time I checked, we were Americans....LOL....These people are ludicrous.

[hophead]

"She is as competent, ambitious and driven a politician as they come."

Technicaly a true statement. But there is absolutly NO correlation between a "competent, ambitious and driven politician" to someone who is intelligent, thoughtful and wise.
Imagine trying to get 40 people out of todays Congress with anywhere near the "intelligent, thoughtful and wise" minds of the original signers.

[RightWhale]

The tide, both presidential and congressional, may be running against them.

Or, then again, it may not. But, there was a full moon a couple days ago and it may have affected some editorial writers.

[Popocatapetl]

The three words that Bush would really fear is:

China invades Taiwan.

Because that is the only three words he need fear.

Can't you just tell RUPERT CORNWELL was touching himself while writing this piece of democrat party porn?

[kingu]

Gosh, where to start? I feel like I'm walking away from the counter at a Mexican fast food joint; I got a whole bowl of tripe.

The title of the piece, and the explanation, are a joke. George Bush fears Nancy Pelosi? On what planet is this? He might disagree with her opinions, disappointed in what she says, especially about him, but this author implies that he'll cower away like seeing some deadly vampire. No, what he fears is yet another major terrorist attack on our nation. I'll give them a tidbit of the meat though - he does fear three words, but they're not Speaker Nancy Pelosi. It's 'Children are dead.'

But once again, it is the political games of 9/10 in a 9/11 world. They're going to pull off an upset, ala Gingrich. They even spoke about Gingrich's cornerstone, the Contract With America. And they said that someone's got a plan. And as usual, that was about as far as they bothered before they went on to other things.

They state that people are angry at congress - yup, Republicans (for the first time in a decade) have a lead on Democrats in being disapproved. Should last this news cycle, maybe the next, but that's it. Toss down a sheet of Nancy quotes in front of the average voter, and they'll go running screaming away. Same with Dean's quotes, Teddy's quotes, Kerry's quotes.. Oh, yeah, did I mention that virtually everyone hates their leadership, including the Democrats themselves?

I think the most frightening thing is that all politics are local: the average voter isn't voting in their congresscritter for one party or another, they're usually voting either with their already registered party, or they like the guy. They could come up with the miracle, and actually win back the house. (I don't even want to consider the senate - Dean would go back to his things about guys with flags in their pickups and it'll get really muddled from there.)

What comes next? Nothing. Those dudes with the plan? Well, they didn't consult with any women on that, there's no plan for African Americans in there, and besides, they're a bit busy holding hearings and stuff. Did you hear about the gay pride parade? Nancy's the first floater...
