Pelosi Book Is Ill-Timed Text On Hypocrisy
IBD Editorials ^ | August 6, 2008 | Michelle Malkin

Posted on 08/06/2008 7:01:21 PM PDT by Kaslin

The Democratic Speaker of the House and a co-author hired to try to add flavor to bland Beltway establishment oatmeal have penned a self-help book for "America's daughters" to help them "Know Your Power."

It's a dreadfully pedestrian text — "as long as we recognize the power within us, we will continue to have choices, and we will continue to lead" — surpassed in its dreadfulness only by the timing of its publication.

With congressional approval ratings at an all-time low and the Democratic Congress under fire for taking a five-week vacation instead of working on energy policy, perhaps this wasn't the best time to send Nancy Pelosi jetting from coast to coast to tell our daughters how to save the planet, manage our households and run our government.

Sorry, Nan. There are not enough carbon offsets to compensate for this tree-wasting dud and its accompanying gas-guzzling, hot air-emitting publicity tour.

Strangely the rebuttal book to her tome has been out for several years:

ps. that is not a derogatory reference to her gender, lest anyone want to assume so.

Pelosi has dismissed oil and gas drilling as a "hoax" — even as she reportedly encourages vulnerable Democrats to embrace drilling to bolster their electoral prospects.

Queen Nancy is the perfect example of a two-faced, power-hungry, egocentric dolt that every walked the face of the earth. In the 40+ years I've been paying close attention to politics, I cannot recall another speaker who demanded the face time and attention that this bitch has. I sure hope the people in CA see her for what she really is.

She is the elected representative from San Francisco...We're really not going to get any better out of that town.
The shame is that the National Democrat Party allows her to be the Speaker (well, maybe its not so much of a 'shame' given that she's one of their defacto 'faces'... But still, a National Party in these United States ought to be able to do better).

Queen Nance, when you lose George Stephanopoulos, you've lost the war.

He had that incredulous look on his face, as if to say, "I'm dealing with a total idiot."

And he was. And she proved it.

She has absolutely no business being in that seat, "Grandmother with Grandchildren", or not.

This hypocrite witch is married to a wealthy man who owns Vineyards and Restaurants.

Apparently, they don't allow ANY union labor in any of their businesses..

And do you think they have any illegals working for them?
