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.

Great. Put her quote in every children’s textbook. Right alongside Chamerlain’s “peace in our lifetime”.
Pompous asses who have a quote for the press and produce no results. Let history be the judge of the fools.
Such disgraceful behavior from the “speaker of the house”. There are partisan divides in this country, but to Nancy, Bush is the enemy and AQ is her friend.
She still refuses to acknowledge the success in Iraq.
Her rating numbers are in the pits, and she blames that on President Bush.
I have never been so embarrassed as an american as I am by the democrat party today.
Shame on Blitzer for giving her the air time to say what she said.
I will call her a bitch, because she is one.
I hope my post doesn’t get deleted; I have never used profanity here before, but Nancy is a disgrace to this nation.
You stay classy, Nancy.
Keep flappin’ your gums 9% Nan.
Freepers! Let me know when I can SMACK her!
She ought to be tarred and feathered and dumped over Syria.
The New new tone in Washington.
And Cheney is a big fat dumbhead.
I wonder if Bush has a rating higher than 9% of the people.
A barf alert would have been nice. Now I have to get a new keyboard.
If Bush is a total failure with an approval rating higher than Congress, how would you characterize Pelosi and her colleagues. Maybe, beyond total failue?
She’s come undone!!! (remember that tune?)
Will McCain now take the opposite position as Pelosi and ask her to retract the statement? I didn’t think so.
Hey, Pelosi, what is the public’s rating of Congress? Isn’t it down to around 9 percent of Americans who has a favorable rating of you and your fellow Congress critters? So, that means that 91 percent of us feel that you are a worthless POS.
Nancy's not too good at math.
She thinks algebra is something mermaids wear for support (maybe the worst math joke ever).
You will go down as the WORST speaker of the House EVER! Enjoy the legacy Queenie!
