Pelosi Says She Would Drain GOP 'Swamp'

By DAVID ESPO The Associated Press Friday, October 6, 2006; 1:58 AM

WASHINGTON -- Franklin Roosevelt had his first hundred days.

House Democratic leader Nancy Pelosi is thinking 100 hours, time enough, she says, to begin to "drain the swamp" after more than a decade of Republican rule.

The swamp has not been drainer. Weiner is still there. Rangel is still there. Maxine is still there. Barney is still there.

The old bat had a chance to drain the swamp.
As usual another RAT promise not fulfilled. Not only not fulfilled she added to the swamp instead of draining it.

I think she did drain the GOP congressional swamp. And what we have found out is how many demo creepy crawlies there were (and still are) slithering along the bottom hidden from our eyes by weak-willed and corrupt RINOs. So, thanks, Nan. You kept your promise. But remember, sometimes promises kept have unintended consequences.

Her nose should have grown at least a foot at the very moment that she uttered that statement, however the botox probably kept it from doing so.

Nancy is still quite willing to drain the GOP swamp. Wiener, however might well come to regret his questioning of Nancy’s omnipotence.

Weiner heard that but thought she said “drain your lizard, on camera”.

Since Weiner admitted that his sexting behavior had been going on for three years, that means that it was happening mostly during Pelosi's leadership of the House.

And yet, it was Pelosi who used the Mark Foley incident to denounce the Republican leadership of Denny Hastert.

So, what are people saying of Pelosi, to allow this behavior to happen while she's claiming the drain the GOP swamp?

Looks like she got a few calls & emails from Michael Moore, Matt Damon, Maddcow, the “I want it now” crowd and it made her say something Moonbat crazy.

You snooze you lose Nance. Early bird gets the worm.

Was this cow born stupid, or did she get dropped on her head in later life?
