US House of Representatives Speaker Nancy Pelosi on Thursday called President George W. Bush "a total failure" who "has no ideas," in an interview with CNN.
Responding to stinging criticism from Bush on the Democratic leadership in both houses of Congress and the slow pace of the legislative agenda, as Congress prepares for its one-month summer recess in August, Pelosi let loose:
"You know, God bless him, bless his heart, the president of the United States, a total failure, losing all credibility with the American people on the economy, on the war, on energy, you name the subject."
Pelosi, 68, said the House and Senate were busy "trying to sweep up after (Bush's) mess over and over and over again ... The president knows it. He needs something to talk about. Because he has no ideas."
The speaker was especially critical of Bush's proposal to lift a ban on offshore oil drilling as a means to ease the current fuel price crisis, calling it a ploy to draw attention away from his failures.

LOL!
Hatch lost his political usefulness about 6 or 7 years ago. He should be feeding pigions on the parkbench every afternoon.
“She said that Congress’s low ratings were due to the fact that Bush won’t compromise with them to get anything done and that all the wonderful things she and the House passed were bottlenecked in the Senate.”
Good. Our system still works. It’s broken, but it still works.
When they reach five percent, they should be looking for midnight transportation to countries without criminal extradition agreements.
Hey Nance, you're a lying idiot. You tried to sell the American people a bill of no goods but now they're starting to figure out what a loser you are. It's kind of hard to criticize someone that has 2 times better approval rating than you.
I hear ya! It’s a darn shame.
Just called. “User’s voicemail is full”! lol Methinks she’s getting an earful when she gets to work tomorrow! lolol
‘..Methinks she’s getting an earful....’
hope so! This woman has not an ounce of professionalism, decency or integrity.
Well said!
Sent her an email since her voicemail was overflowing!
I'm sensing racial undertones here....
“Good, let her continue to make an ass of herself.
People of all persuasions are seeing right through the old hag.”
All she is left with is venom and personal attacks.
She has not offered any ideas of her own - she only bashes the ideas of others.
I cannot believe the Speaker would personally insult the President of the United States like this - no matter how much she disagrees with him.
She truly appears to be going seriously mental.
Bump for the truth.
“It happens.
I’m genuinely concerned about the newly discovered fact that Botox can and does find it’s way into the nerve system in the brain. Injecting a product of botulism into your skin? That alone is insane.
I seriously believe she should be medically examined to find out if this has happened - for her sake and the nation’s. But mostly for our sake.
I wonder of this can be pursued legally as a national security issue.
The possibility that a House Leader can be suffering from poison induced insanity (not that she wasn’t already insane) should be a big deal.”
I was just wondering about the possible link between botulism and brain disfunction when I read your post.
Yes - it must be the botox.
Can you imagine speaking about the president like this unless you had some sort of brain disability?
“Do you really (rhetorically speaking) think Nancy believes in a God that can ‘bless him’ or ‘his heart’? These are just figures of speech for her, as you say - a shield against her next remarks.”
It’s usually an expression you hear used by southerners.
You will never hear this expression unless there is an insult involved.
Wonder what she’d say if President Bush decides to handle this crisis with an EO. Overriding all the legislation blocking drilling....WOW...would cause a few STROKES among the old donkeys...and President Bush would be the HERO....bottom would drop out of oil prices while the donkeys are on vacation. I think it may ruin a few vacations. LOL........
