Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi will be taking questions online at The Washington Post this afternoon at 3 p.m. as part of her tour promoting her new book, Know Your Power, A Message to America's Daughters.
Washington Post page to submit questions and follow discussion.
The questions are screened by The Post's moderator and those that are forwarded to Pelosi can be passed over by her in private.
The Post blurb says that in addition to the book she'll be talking about "the current political scene."
Have fun, but keep it clean, please.
Madam Speaker:
Can you explain why you are encouraging your fellow democrats that are in re-election trouble to back drilling and oil exploration if it helps them, yet you will not allow an up or down vote on the House Floor?
Thank you.
Thanks.
Dear Red Queen, how long did you ponder before deciding to become a wholesale traitor to the Republic?
How close in months do you and your globalist buddies think you are to abolishing the sovereignty of the USA in favor of the North American Union and then the global government?
Did your mother really rear you to be a traitorous bwitch?
Who do you think is the more successful traitor to the Republic, You as the Red Queen or Black Queen Shrillery?
Sometimes it seems like you feel chagrinned that your traitorous control schemes do not yet include the galaxy. How do you cope with such disappointments about the limits of your control freakism?
Sometimes it seems like your contempt for us serfs and slaves commonly known as the American People . . . that your contempt for us knows no bounds. Is it true that you’ve banned all Aaron Copeland’s “Fanfare For The Common Man” performances and all his other works from all your many homes?
It’s been said that you have a hard time sleeping in California or DC or any other place where there’s so many common people running around loose on the streets still. Is there some medication you take for such sleep troubling haughtiness?
Is it true that your hubby VOLUNTARILY donated his somewhat anemic gonads to you in a record breaking surgery? Or did you merely have them encased in plastic for your keychain?
If you were somehow shipwrecked on a deserted island with all the folks you’d stolen a decent life of freedom from . . . how many bandages do you think they’d leave your gavel hand in?
Is it true that you fondle and pray to a statue of Karl Marx morning and evening? Do you kiss his head or his rear?
How many micro-seconds do you think you’d last in a genuine trailer park cat fight?
Is it really easier for you to breathe and control the slaves on your home planet?
Is there a universe somewhere in some VERY alternate reality that has a decent, kind, patriotic, likeable Queen Nancy?
Someone said you’ve been taking lessons about squeezing the life out of AMERICA from your 21 foot pet boa. Is that true?
Is it true that hubby sleeps with an electric fence around his bed?
Is it true that hubby wears a chastity belt for his own protection?
Is it true that all the slaves and serfs at all your homes and on all your vineyard plantations get changed out every 6 months to avoid their dying from all the foul air and galactic level stench?
What convinced you that satan managed to construct a special air-conditioned cozy little cell in hell just for you?
How is it that even your daffynition rubber dictionary is missing that key term:
“The people’s trust?”
Ding, ding, ding!
Good answer.
[Psssst: She ain’t a Senator].
LOL.
Remind me not to get on your bad side!
BUMP!
"Can you help me? I'm confused. I'm not sure what the following words mean:
1) Integrity
2) Civility
3) Bipartisanship
Can you give an example of something you've done with integrity, civility, or in a bipartisan fashion during, say, the past year and a half?"
Thought you guys might be interested.
It’ll be so clean, it’ll be like I’m not even there.
Dennis Moore, Dennis Moore, galloping through the sward,
Dennis Moore, Dennis Moore, and his horse Concorde.
He steals from the rich, he gives to the poor,
Mr. Moore, Mr. Moore, Mr. Moore.
Couldn't help myself...
Nancy, do you really put your make up on with a caulking gun???
That’s a dirty rumor. She uses a putty knife.
Madame Speaker, how can President Bush block the House from debating the energy bill as you have said? It is not in the President’s authority to stop House proceedings.
Smart to do this AFTER Rush.
Online with WaPo but no Nancy, as of 15:08EDT.
Color me ‘Not Surprised!’
I'll let you know if mine comes up. Wasn't energy related.
So far all I see is one fawning question and Nancy’s obviously pre-written reply.
ROTFLOL Thanks. That was funny.
First hard hitting question. Wilkes-Barre, Penn.: Madame Speaker: Hello, and I hope you are enjoying the recess from Congress. Two questions: 1. How on Earth did you find time to write a book while holding the title of Speaker of the House? 2. The subtitle of your book is “A Message to America’s Daughters.” Is this book specifically or solely for females? Or for daughters? Can I, as a male, read it and enjoy it? Nancy Pelosi: Thank you all for stopping by to ask your questions. I look forward to telling some stories from my book, Know Your Power, and sharing lessons for America�s daughters � and sons. Last summer for one week we made it a family vacation to record our remembrances and snapshots of my upbringing and our life together. I spent four more days recording some of my House stories. The transcript was 1100 pages long. After the first of the year, Amy Hill Hearth helped me edit it down. I wrote the book in response to people asking me what it was like to go from housewife to House Speaker and for advice as to how young people, especially women, could balance family and career. Many fathers have told me that they have read my book and want their daughters to read it - so I certainly hope that you will enjoy it!
Here’s my question:
“Madame Speaker,
I would like to know why the promised Democratic plan to lower gas prices as stated in your press release dated April 18, 2006 has not been kept and why you are currently refusing to hold a debate on methods to lower gas prices?”
I was biting my tongue the whole time, since I have nothing but contempt for her and her ilk.
