Pelosi tells Republicans to 'take back their party' Posted: 02:14 PM ET

From CNN's Dana Bash and Deirdre Walsh

WASHINGTON (CNN) – Speaker Nancy Pelosi marked President Obama's 100 days in office with some unsolicited advice to Republican voters: "take back your party."

The California Democrat offered her own analysis of the political environment for her political opponents, asserting Republicans across the country are more willing to work with Democrats than their leaders on Capitol Hill.

"Yes, there is, shall we say - a 'radical right-wing' element with whom they identify. But by and large, I say to Republicans in America: take back your party. The party of protecting the environment. The party of individual rights. The party of fairness. This is not the Grand Old Party."

Pelosi concluded her long riff about the GOP by saying, "our country needs a strong diverse Republican party." Without missing a beat, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid chimed in, saying "not too strong."

I think it’s a safe bet to do the opposite.

Fox News was always going to broadcast the press conference, it’s Fox Broadcast that isn’t.

Fox News would always carry the President’s speech. Fox Broadcasting is not.

Oh, Nancy, we’re taking back our party, alright, just in a different way than you suggest.

The antidote for the RINO poison is CONSERVATISM!!!!! We’re simply applying the antidote to the party, which, without it, would die.

Good. We’ll get rid of all the liars and put them in with the Democrats where we can see what they do and just elect people to the Republican party who believe in America and what it stands for ....

No they didn't lie.

It was the Fox entertainment channel (the one that competes with CBS, NBC, and ABC and is available off cable) that turned down Zero's request.

Same channel that runs American Idol and "24" and stood to lose some $$ by carrying him.

The ratings for American Idol will probably go thru the roof as Fox is the only "over-the-air" network running their regular show at that hour.
