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.
What was that question #4? Was that a joke? I think they’re having a hard time finding softball questions to use. Did WaPo neglect to pre-write some for her?
Marie Antoinette? Was that a stealth VRWC shot at her?
Fifth softball in a row. Remember, as the guest, Pelosi can privately bypass any question The Post forwards to her.
Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
She may have sold more if she had been a No Show ?????
OK...5 questions in a half hour. Not a very good response at all.
You know in a way it really is kinda sad. She has an open platform and refuses to answer a few tough questions from the People.
My submitted question/comment:
Do you enjoy these Q and A sessions where you are dealt one softball question after another?
Good grief Washington Post. You would think this interview was being conducted by OK! or Star magazine.
“Good grief- these questions are absurd. The Washington Post is absurd.”
You didn’t expect princess botox to actually answer questions that hold her accountable for her actions now did you?
Answered 5 questions in 34 minutes....Either she’s a slow typer, or they’re having to filter hundreds of questions at a time.
This is becoming really sad. She can’t even handle these softballs.
Her book took only 1 week and 4 days to write?
Nancy is truly amazing!/s
I don’t think so, given the context.
Sixth softball in a row. Going out for some fresh air for a few minutes. That might help keep my lunch down.
That is true she can bypass a question, but hopefully she is getting to read them most of them.
She must be bypassing a lot of questions, as it’s a looong time in between.
This had to be someone from here:
“Fargo, North Dakota: Do you believe that members of the US House should vote the way their constituents want them to vote?”
Princess botox’s answer is comical at best since she doesn’t give a rat’s a$$ about the Constitution or the constituents.
Fresh air nothing! I’m going to go out to the garage and hit my thumb with a ball peen hammer just to keep my brain from turning to jelly and running out my ears.
Good question. That’s the way I would have written it.
The only person I’ve heard come close to other than softball questions to her was Stephanapoulis last Sunday.
Madame Speaker should be ashamed of herself.
I wouldn’t trust her with my laundry.
In between questions, I’m watching the polar bears on the webcam at the San Diego Zoo - they are much more interesting and intelligent than the Q&A of SanFranNan.
