Palin: Pelosi telling 'tight-faced lie' on healthcare reform law waivers By Jordan Fabian - 05/19/11 06:30 AM ET
Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin (R) on Wednesday accused House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) of telling a "tight-faced lie" in saying she had nothing to do with healthcare reform waivers granted to companies in her district.
During an appearance on Fox News's "Hannity," Palin echoed a quip made by comedian Dennis Miller that Pelosi was telling "a tight-faced lie" on the issue of the waivers — a reference to speculation that she had undergone plastic surgery.
"In the words of Dennis Miller today, who said on Fox in reference to something Nancy Pelosi said, what she is saying is a tight-faced lie," Palin said. "We cannot believe what it is she tells us now."
Palin is continuing her offensive against the former House Speaker over reports that a large number of San Francisco-area businesses got waivers, arguing they're an example of "crony capitalism."
But according to the company that managed the waiver applications, which is owned by a Republican, Pelosi had no influence over the waiver process.
Miller, a right-leaning comic and former "Saturday Night Live" star, originally made his joke on Fox News's "O'Reilly Factor."
"At this point in time, I can't tell if Nancy Pelosi is telling a bold-faced lie, or a two-faced lie, or a tight-faced lie. But I'll tell you this, I consider her to be the preeminent liar of her generation," he said.
My wife laughed her arse off!
I am starting to think that Palin is the most astute politician we have seen in a long time, if ever. I do believe it is her faith in God and reliance on His guidance that will afford us a glimpse of political genius.
He also does not know all the points in the line at which pressure can be applied, nor by how many people removed from Pelosi. To see that many waiver from her pig pen, and to suggest no influence on the process, is simply to willfully deny the obvious.
It's raining out, my floor is wet ... nah, my roof doesn't leak.
Maybe, but I don’t mind a mean lady when it comes to Obama and his many cronies.
Waivers you have to be in the Obama club to obtain them.
The fine lines get filled with Botox - fake and artificial - “To each his own”.
But society has this weird view of what is “Presidential”.
Personally I see through the face mask of one trying to be “Presidential”. I prefer the little wrinkles because it shows the real person. Try not to view Sarah’s wrinkles as catty, but see them as honesty!

Gee, I wonder if my wife could watch an instant replay....
Sleep out in the garage much???
No you don't. With all the bad players out there you need one mean tough DOB in charge.

“Bald-faced lie” is indeed the common use but “Bold-faced lie” is the original, and correct phrase, as in “to lie with a bold face”. We all have known people that lie with a bold face. They think the more adamant they are about their lie, the more believable it is. What exactly would it mean to lie with a bald face? Maybe that those with beards don’t lie.
Sort of like people that say “butt naked” instead of “buck naked”. Common and ignorant can be the same thing sometimes. Don’t mean to rant. It’s just a pet peeve of mine:)
I feel she will be the future replacement for HT pics on FR.
