Looks as if Nancy Pelosi has found a rooting section at ABC. As we detailed here yesterday, Charley Gibson fawned over Nancy Pelosi's baby-clutching photo-op. This morning, Cokie Roberts joined the claque. Appearing on This Week, she enthused:
"Great images, you're absolutely right. And completely natural. . . That baby knew that grandmother even though it's only a few weeks old. All those other children were completely 
comfortable with her. And it was, it was just, fun. It wasn't in any way stilted and awful."
View video here.
Pelosi, completely natural and comfortable? Not nearly as natural and comfortable as was Cokie -- singing the praises of a new Dem Speaker of the House.

Old gravel voiced Cokie, is disgusting. Why didn't she just get down on her knees and lick Pelosi's stiletto's?

What's even more pathetic is that those on the Right campaigned and agitated for this exact vision, (of course now they all claim to have voted straight "R"), after convincing the public to vote straight "D".
There is NO difference in the 2 parties, right?

Never mind Cokie, guess who's now a regular on the former Clinton press chief's, Stephanopolis, show This Week on ABC ? A defeated Dem KY congressman by the name of Ford. So much for "balance". My new years resolution. All these talking head hosts will be referenced by their former political jobs in my web site and I would urge others to do the same

When it comes to babies, the only thing "natural" about Pelosi is when she's ripping them limb from limb and sucking their brains out with a vacuum hose.

All Newt had to do was grab an infant and breast-feed it to get gushing, DBM commentary... if he only knew!

The RINOs in the senate handed control to the Rats before there was an election...
Turning the general election into a second Democrat primary wasn't a big help either...

What's Cookie trying to say .. that most grandkids are afraid of their grandmothers??
And what exactly is the point of pushing Nancy as being a grandmother??
What's she going to to .. hug the terrorists and sing lullabies to them???

Propaganda images and rhetoric to push a win in '08.
The "mothering" of America.
Hillary! said that America needs a "mother" in the Whitehouse just a few weeks ago.
That's the strategy.

Having Cokie Roberts describe anything as 'completely natural', immediately casts doubt on the credibility of the assessment,....since it is coming from a woman with a haircut approaching a burr,...naturally.

Yep those who pretend to be the "Ultra Pure Holier Than You Conservatives" should be very proud of themselves and I include in this some conservative radio talk show hosts who attacked President Bush and the Republican Party as bad as any hate filled lunatic liberal. Shame on them.

That video is enough to gag a maggot (as my grandkids used to say).
If testosterone were dynamite, there wasn't enough in that studio to blow your nose!
