Not to worry.....the media will prop her up. Unless and until the Hildebeast gets tired of her. When that day comes, the Queen Mum better hire some bodyguards.
This is the strategy I would encourage the Republicans use for this Congress - put all the eggs in the prolife basket. Force Pelosi to sacrifice ground on prolife matters in exchange for economic, ethics, and lobby reform concessions.
She badly wants to get things done and appear to be moving fast.
Target the small prolife split that is forming and will form within the Democratic Congress with everything you've got. Slap tough restriction riders onto any lobby group reform bills that Pelosi puts up. Wanna database our prolifers Nancy? Fine. Let's put Planned Parenthood more in the spotlight also. Recruit some of those Dem freshman to co-sponsor.
Focus on one thing - SPLITTING the Dems on prolife issues in exchange for some (not all) economic concessions. Pressure Pelosi to start abandoning her ideology or risk looking like a do-nothing Speaker.
I can't wait until Nancypoli starts having her hot flashes and goes nuts in the HOUSE!
At 66????? I think those days are over. But she can still go nuts.
Her introduction by the fella obviously insane from GOP hatred was paticularly nauseating- he blabbed about how she wasn't a vindictive personality or something liek that and how she is an advocate of bipartisanship- My mind exploded at that point so don't remember much after thqat http://sacredscoop.com
How about the ones in the party that let the power
go to their heads...and thus turned off our own voters,
who stayed home; and let this thing happen? Dumb remarks,
dumb campaigns, dumb political ads. Geez....I never
thought this would jhappen..I hope Bush doesn't fall for
their slimy agenda..Veto...needs to be in the mix and
with the bully pulpit or the taxes will come fast and
furious..for the children.. they have the plans we have
the short end of he stick...JK
How I hope you're right!!! I'm sure you're right that they'll be seen as they are. BUT will the average American voter inform himself/herself and vote them out in 2008? I don't know how much confidence I have any more in the voters!
Nothing short of this will do it!!
In my opinion as an elected representative who happens to be female, the "for the children" comment trivialized the gravity of the occassion. The bulk of the citizenry does not see children's issues as the most important on the current agenda - just the liberal leftist females. The gathering of children at the podium was like the character with the big skirt hiding little ones in the Nutcracker ballet.
What did happen during the administration of the general oath of office? Did she actually do that with all the kids around her still grabbing to touch the gavel? It makes a really bad impression to show that a woman Speaker is distracted from important duties and responsibilities by children vying for her attention as a nurturer. I was embarassed for women in office. The scene reinforced many stereotypes that, in my opinion, we would be prudent to avoid.
This is the best I ever seen. I laughed so hard it hurts. Right on!!!!!!!
...........got it ! LOL !
I was sorry to see that he is such a poor public speaker. He stumbled over several words and seemed very unprepared. I am sorry he is now our minority leader.
Her eyes are no longer so pop-eyed. When she went missing for \several weeks prior the to election, she must have been having really good cosmetic surgery to loosen up whatever was pulling her skin back so tight. yikes
There's this thing about elections: you win some, you lose some. And I think that the Democrats are like the dog that caught the car- they don't really know what to do with it.
Oh, they know what to do with it. It's about f*cking Republicans right up the ass. That's all it has been about since January 3rd, 1995.
Okay, FReepers, let's get this set up now.
NormsRevenge got it just right when he added "BARF ALERT" to the title:
Pelosi basks in historic day in Congress (elected first female House speaker) *.*Barf Alert!*.*
ANY article with Pelosi in the title needs a BARF ALERT.
Nancy's hubris outweighs her gravitas by about 10 to 1!!
