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.

9/11 was never repeated, and for that Bush deserves praise and gratitude. His Supreme Court appointments were good. Otherwise, his Administration was a failure.

Nancy Pelosi cannot claim any such accomplishment. She is a complete and total failure and a disgrace to the U.S. Congress (and that's saying a helluva lot!).

Pelosi is the Witch of Capital Hill.. Witch with a capital B.

Remind me again, Nancy, who has the approval rating in the single digits?

[Gator113]

9%, that’s just 9%. That means that almost every American thinks you’re dumber than a box of rocks, Nancy.

The psychological term here is "projection". It is Pelosi who is the major league failure.

[boomop1]

Please Pelosi, list your accomplishments. Bitch

[tflabo]

All Hail.....All bow down to her majesty!

PELOSI'S OVARIES HAVE SHRUNKEN UP

Ole "9% Nan" should pay attention to some fellow Californians (Firesign Theater) who said famously: "Everything You Know Is Wrong."

Bugeyes Piglousy is losing any gray matter that might have been in that pinhead of hers! She belongs in a psycho ward of a Mental Asylum, and those eyes bulging out of that pinhead are absolutely gross. The Boob is all boobs:-)

Thank you.

I’ll help nancy with the math, bless her heart:

Bush’s 28% is more than 3 times your 9% approval rating, nancy

"You know, God bless him, bless his heart, the president of the United States, a total failure...

I heard a stand-up comedian say the phrase 'bless his heart', can be used to insulate a person from whatever ugly thing they want to say about a person.

Why is it that whenever I see that picture I'm reminded of this picture?

[randita]

So..... The Speaker presiding over the house with the lowest approval ratings in history calls the President a failure?

I saw the interview. 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. Wolf Blitzer wasn't buying it.

Cynical old BAT!

“I don’t get how ANYONE could take her seriously enough to vote for her”

She represents San Francisco

Pelosi, 68,

No need to announce her IQ.

I fear 9% Nancy will be sporting a go-tee if she has one more face lift. ;o)
