What's more important to Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi, saving the nation's economy from collapse or promoting her book?

Judging from her decision to promote her book, "Know Your Power, A Message To America's Daughters", tomorrow night in her native Baltimore, the California Democrat, who is second in line to the presidency, decided the fate of the nation can wait.

Baltimore TV station WJZ reported today that Pelosi is scheduled to appear at the the Enoch Pratt Library at 7 p.m. Tuesday night.

According to the library's website, copies of Pelosi's book will be available for sale at her appearance.

This is how The Baltimore Sun et al., would cover this if it were a Republican Speaker of the House in the same situation.

Has Pelosi sold any of her books yet?

Seriously, he other week I believe Drudge listed her ttal sales at 5,217. The royalties on that wouldn’t be enough to pay for the fabric in one of her huge bras:-)

Holy WOW! Thank you! Amazon has her at #46,922!
That is SO BAD! The Sex Life of a Caterpillar must be selling much better than this. You would think Pelosi would have enough chuzpa to save her dignity and pretend the looser book neer existed:-(

Pelosi could care less about the economy and our oil\energy situation. She knows that her accomplices in the main stream media will continue to blame Bush and the Repbulicans. And as long as they do she could care less the condition of our economy. Party first, district second, country third.

“Pelosi Continues Book Tour While Nation Teeters on Economic Calamity”

Good. In a time of crisis, the last thing America needs is this tuberculin old crone running around shooting off her ignorant mouth about how none of this is her fault.

Is she getting around on her book tour using the Air Force jet provided to her as Speaker of the House?

Drill here, Drill now, for American oil. Time for her to get her bonny ass back to work, for the American people; not a useless book tour.

Sean Hannity seems to think that the book’s title is “Watching Paint Dry,” LOL.

Up Pelosi's nose with a rubber hose.

As for saving the economy, a bailout is not necessary. The government could simply shut down all banks for a week, examine their records, and permanently close the insolvent ones, while rescuing banks on the edge with some money. Instead, the banking giants want us to believe that either we bail them out, risking massive inflation in the near-future, or

WE'RE DOOMED!

If she doesn’t move any more copies, it could even be dubbed “NOT Watching Paint Dry”. ;’)
