In the first really bold move of the new Congress, Jack Murtha told Arianna Huffington in an interview published today that he plans to block Bush's plan to escalate the war in Iraq by refusing to fund a so-called "surge" of additional troops.

"seeing this joke shitting in the Speaker's Chair has to have our terrorist friends in the Middle East licking their chops"

This is a MAJOR setback to women of qualifications everywhere....THIS is the BEST they can do?

This is the same reason blacks of real personal integrity and pride do NOT like Affirmative Action: it provides a vehicle for others to say "they did not do it on their own merits".....

One more face-lift and she'll have a goatee and need to start shavin'.

This is weird watching this speech. Boehner pleading for respectfulness from Madame Speaker...

The day after New Year’s Day, Pelosi will visit the Vatican, where she hopes to be coronated by the Pope. “No woman has ever been coronated by a Pope,” Pelosi said. “This ceremony will solidify the importance of my ascension.”

She's orchestrated this like a Papal Conclave.
I heard that there was white smoke billowing from the top of the Rayburn Building with some religious dignitaries announcing to the crowd " Habemus Pelosi !! "

"I just can't tell you how empowered I now feel as a woman ;)"

Me, too, and I'm not even a woman.

It is the Paul Wellstone funeral. No dignity. No deference or humility. Just Hubris in-your-face Mr.Bush. This is nauseating.

THE INMATES HAVE TAKEN OVER THE ASSYLUM.

The Clowns may change, but the Circus remains the same...

[meg88]

She's a terrible public speaker.

Where are we going and what are we doing in this handbasket? Just puke.

[Illinois Farmer 1]

That's amazing..how she can say this line of crap with a straight face.

[windchime]

FAKE keeps coming to mind.

My daughter just looked at Cruella DeVil up there and said she couldn't get the notion of Pelosi jumping up with the gavel and screaming, "By the power of Greyskull, I'll slaughter MILLIONS!"

Just damn.

If you want on the list, FReepmail me. This IS a high-volume PING list...

Dick and Dingle voted for her, one right after the other.

I thought that was cute.

Was that a prop she was carrying around or a real baby? It didn't move at all all the time she was holding it, and she never looked at it once that I saw.

It's so nice to have a nice sweet little old lady
Grandma for Speaker.

[Illinois Farmer 1]

Oh Paul...you lucky bastard.
