Bad morning for Pelosi @ 9:53 am by Eric Zimmermann
Two new developments in the "what did Pelosi know about waterboarding" series spell trouble for the Speaker.
First, CNN reports that an aide told Pelosi in February 2003 that waterboarding had been used on Abu Zubaydah. This contradicts Pelosi's assertion that she only knew about the legal rationale for waterboarding, not that it had been used.
Sheehy attended a briefing in which waterboarding was discussed in February 2003, with Rep. Jane Harman, D-California, who took over Pelosi's spot as the ranking Democrat on the House Intelligence Committee.
This source says Pelosi didn't object when she learned that waterboarding was being used because she had not been personally briefed about it — only her aide had been told.
This looks pretty bad for Pelosi, as though she avoided any "personal briefing" to maintain deniability.
Second, Majority Leader Steny Hoyer is now reluctantly admitting that Congressional hearings on the matter should include questions about what Pelosi knew.
The first of those hearings is today, a Senate Judiciary Committee that starts in, oh, about 5 minutes. The witness lineup today means the Pelosi issue probably won't take center stage, but that might change with future hearings.
The Dems have a Decision to make......Do they keep the incompetent former committee head at her even MORE Important leader of the House role.....where her Obvious Lies can bring down Approval ratings Lower than they are now.....or do they make a change in replacing Pelosi ?
“When is it ever a good morning to have a Pelosi?”
LOL
Yeah, but who is going to do anything about any of this? It will just be another example of a Democrat politician caught in an obvious lie/crime/transgression/violation/corruption, but with no ramifications whatsoever (beyond a several day coverage on Fox News).
Somewhere in Texas, Jim Wright is shaking his head and chuckling.
really? you take a Pelosi?
I refer to it as “making an image of Muhamed”.
BRB- I have to dig some Pelosi clumps out of my kitty litter box...
“Let me be the first to say it....absolutely NOTHING will come of this. She will suffer no ill effects, IMHO.”
It may serve to derail their silly little spanky leftist trials of waterboarding however. That itself is a benefit. Anything we can do to get the idiot press to move off of obammy’s two approved messages (”it took a long time for this problem to develop” or “ we inherited...”) ENOUGH!
I couldn't agree more.
Obama wants Pelosi gone ...
“the Dems...at least the ones at DU...indicate that they are more than willing to throw Pelosi under the bus to get Bush and Cheney.”
I love it. The more these idiots live in their moronic past dreams of bloodlust (tilting at windmills), the better we’ll be as we focus on the future. Go America!
thats ‘Ft Worthless Jim’..
“It will just be another example of a Democrat politician caught in an obvious lie/crime/transgression/violation/corruption, but with no ramifications whatsoever”
Drip, drip, drip - America will finally (and it) waking up to this corrupt indecency wrought upon us by the socialist agitators and anarchists. This will happen with or without the press.
By the way - 65% think that Daily Newspapers will be dead in 10 years:

imho, any civil war among the dims is good news. Couple that with the idiot press reflexive tendencies to return to their professions about one time/year, and who knows, we may finally have something here? Just trying to stay optimistic.
Is that from “Brazil”? What a great movie.
“really? you take a Pelosi?”
Not to get too graphic, but it depends on the day, if you get my drift.
Remember Nancy - you laugh too hard, you cry.
One bad morning for Pelosi?.....Tell the truth you skank! You knew waterboarding was being used and yet you deny it? It was easy to climb on the prosecute Bush Bus with the ACLU but I guess you forgot you knew about the waterboarding! You libtards are a little to quick and you especially look very stupid now! F.U. Pelosi!.....
