US Congress leader Pelosi calls Bush 'a total failure'
Yahoooo ^ | 7/17/08 | AFP

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.

Headline: Democrats Resort to Name-Calling, Instead of Doing Anything Constructive.

Nancy Pelosi needs to stop acting like a 7th grader and be a leader.

Every thread about Nancy is trash, she is trash, her city is trash, her constituents are trash.

Pelosi has to be a man underneath that dress because it takes balls to say that Bush is a failure when she is at 9% in the polls.

9 FREAKING PERCENT.

Who among you here are from San Francisco, Kalifornia?
How do we start a recall petition for Ms. Know it all-Do nothing Pelosi?
She is either probably the dumbest Speaker we had in Congress or she is on the verge of having Alzheimer’s Disease.

Yeah, when I look for someone to shape my opinion, I always go to the ones with the 9% approval rating.

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.

What is the big deal, Bush will not defend himself, his allies or his policies. Let GW drift in the wind. Remember he has political capital and he intends to spend it.

I should send her another e-mail.

The next one might be slightly less nice. And I only mean slightly. Don’t want suits stuffing their noses up my butt.

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.

I wish someone would take that pic and photoshop a “goatee” onto it. Well,,,, I don’t really mean a goatee, but a “goatee.” The result of too many facelifts. If ya know what I mean,,,,,,,,,
