Why Pelosi's Hypocrisy Matters

[sunny48]

Yep under the bus with her.

So her position is that it's OK to lie about Republicans - but not about the CIA? ...And my feelings about that? It rhymes with witch.

[UCANSEE2]

If she gets kicked out of Congress she will return to her state and run for Governor and probably win.

Would be funny if Pelosi ran for GOV against Cindy Sheehan, and Sheehan won.

Then, I suppose, Pelosi could end up joining Code Pink.

[UCANSEE2]

What Nancy did with the shovel.

[Exton1]

Republicans are accused of lying with no proof and everyone cares; Democrats are proven to lie and no one cares

[neocon1984]

I vote for stupid and condescending.

[Arrowhead1952]

Better stop digging san fran nan.

[Arrowhead1952]

It looks a backhoe!!! (LOL)

[eyedigress]

Pelosi’s new theme song.

Rush should use it when talking about the hag.

Better video.

Now, I just can't make up my mind. To pick up on one and leave the other behind.

[Gator113]

Tough call.

[upchuck]

IMHO, she realizes she overstepped, she realizes she has been caught in [multiple?] lies, has fallen face first into quick sand and is now disparately backpedaling as fast as she can.

Continuing IMHO, this will be swept under the rug. Nancy is "too big to fail."

Who was it who actually conducted the briefings? The Bush admin or the CIA?

[Grampa Dave]

On Sept. 4, 2002, less than a year after 9/11, the CIA briefed Rep. Porter Goss, then House Intelligence Committee chairman, and Mrs. Pelosi, then the committee’s ranking Democrat, on EITs including water boarding. They were the first members of Congress to be informed.

So, who was the director of the CIA, from 9/11 to 2004?

George J. Tenet was the Director of CIA, from 1997–2004 .

Tenet was appointed by President Clinton and approved by Congress. Tenet then became the CIA director in August of 1997.

So, Pelosi is now saying that George Tenet lied to her or ordered his congressional briefers to lie to Nancy.

Ahh, she double dinged them....first saying they lied, and then in her reply, injecting the not so suble phrase about congressional oversight which was her not so subtle way of saying she was going to muck with their financing. It is not bright of anyone to play chicken with the CIA.

“Ahh, she double dinged them....first saying they lied, and then in her reply, injecting the not so suble phrase about congressional oversight which was her not so subtle way of saying she was going to muck with their financing. It is not bright of anyone to play chicken with the CIA.”

It is past time to remove her from being The Speaker of House and any responsible position in congress.

The scum of Gay Frisco will re elect her until she leaves the planet as she is their role model. So let her stay in Congress with no power, shunned by the mediots and both parties.

[Concho]

If she keeps playing chicken with the CIA, they will remove her from power, no doubt.
