House Speaker Nancy Pelosi was in a determinedly good mood when she sat down to lunch with reporters yesterday. She entered the room beaming and, over the course of an hour, smiled no fewer than 31 times and got off at least 23 laughs.
But her spirits soured instantly when somebody asked about the anger of the Democratic "base" over her failure to end the war in Iraq.
"Look," she said, the chicken breast on her plate untouched. "I had, for five months, people sitting outside my home, going into my garden in San Francisco, angering neighbors, hanging their clothes from trees, building all kinds of things -- Buddhas? I don't know what they were -- couches, sofas, chairs, permanent living facilities on my front sidewalk."
Unsmilingly, she continued: "If they were poor and they were sleeping on my sidewalk, they would be arrested for loitering, but because they have 'Impeach Bush' across their chest, it's the First Amendment."

Another asked about a Republican congressman's complaints that the word "God" was removed from certificates accompanying congressional flags. "I don't know what his point is," Pelosi volleyed.
She is a liar.
She knows perfectly well what his "point" was.
My feeling exactly.
showing her true liberal compassion for the homeless I see
She is a bold faced liar. She knows exactly what she is doing.
Ann Coulter's right. If these people had any sense they'd be on our side.
What the hell do Pelosi et al. expect from a bunch of hippies? Logic? Responsibility? Good ideas? Wise leadership? Sex, drugs, and rock-and-roll?
He counted her smiles and laughs?
Wow. Dana’s quite the journalist, ay?
The caption on that photo made me LOL:
“Steny Hoyer, left, is not affiliated with the Nancy Pelosi School of Smiling. (By Melina Mara — The Washington Post)”
It really bothers a far left whack job when far left whack jobs camp on their doorstep. It makes them appear not liberal enough. She seemed a tad bit bitter. What’s the matter horse face?...can’t stand the heat?
Maybe if she felt the same way about illegal aliens we could fix the problem.
Unfortunately, that is a prerequisite for being a leftist democrat these days. And the moderate dems can’t say anything because moveon.org would crush them like ants. It’s a murky mire the dems have themselves in and they have only themselves to blame. The sold their souls for power and now they really don’t have any because moveon.org and Soros, et al have high-jacked the power from them. What a mess, huh?
I wonder which San Francisco she is talking about? This sure isn't true about the one I live in.
