Pelosi: Democrats ready to lead 08/11/2006 - 17:39:25
Set to become the US' first female speaker of the US House of Representatives, Nancy Pelosi says Democrats are "ready to lead" in partnership with Republicans, "not in partisanship".
President George Bush called Pelosi with congratulations this morning after Democrats took firm control of the House, rebounding after a dozen years in the minority.
Pelosi, 66, who made history four years ago when she became the first woman to lead a party caucus in either house of Congress, will become third in line of succession to the president when she is elevated to the speaker's position at the beginning of the new Congress in January.
It will be the highest elective office ever reached by a woman in the US.
Pelosi will be formally re-elected as her party's leader, and its nominee to be speaker, when the Democratic caucus meets on November 16 to choose its standard-bearers for the next Congress.
Democrats, Pelosi said, "intend to lead the most honest, the most open and the most ethical Congress in history".

I'm sure the first person on their "list" is the Democrat congressman who stuffed $60K in his freezer.
Anybody know if he was reelected? Is from Louisiana. I think his name is Jackson?

We don't know where we're going, but we sure know where we've been... and then, over in the Left corner, we saw her, Grandma Ironpants, Nancy Makeover...and I imagined bums drinking fortified wine on the San Fran common, with some homo in a blue hat eating spaghetti, one LONG strand at a time.
To: ExTexasRedhead
In order for the new Congress to be the most ethical, Pelosi would have to start with her own resignation followed by all her Liberal cohorts. IMO, she's amoral and incompetent.
so you're willing to give the democrats a chance to crash and burn on their own?

Democrats, Pelosi said, "intend to lead the most honest, the most open and the most ethical Congress in history". TRANSLATION: Our media slaves will ignore all Democrat transgressions. Or else.

Like Clinton, if she says the Sun is hot, you better check. It probably won't be any longer.

Didn't we hear the same thing from Bill Clinton when he took over?Exactly what I thought. And the MSM will believe it too!

OH GOODY! Does this mean the Dems are resigning? You silly wimmin......democrats do not resign. Like cockroaches (pun intended?), they must be removed with extreme prejudice.

What's ethical about clearing the way for baby killers?
To: Loud Mime
Democrats, Pelosi said, "intend to lead the most honest, the most open and the most ethical Congress in history". Does that include working with her cohort, William "Cash-In-The-Freezer" Jefferson?
