STAMFORD, Conn.—House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, the nation's highest-ranking female politician, said Saturday that GOP presidential candidate John McCain exercised "poor judgment" by selecting Sarah Palin as his running mate.

Pelosi told reporters she missed Palin's television interview Thursday because she was attending a bocce tournament in Hartford.

However, she said, she heard that the Alaska governor's responses to ABC News reporter Charlie Gibson demonstrated "poor judgment," The Advocate of Stamford reported Saturday.

"But more importantly, it's poor judgment on the part of John McCain. We're talking about a heartbeat away from the president," Pelosi said. "He knows better."

Pelosi was visiting Stamford to headline a fundraiser for Jim Himes, a Democrat who is challenging incumbent Republican Christopher Shays in Connecticut's 4th District.

You just can't pay for great advertising like that!

[Interesting Times]

I’d expect that from the future House Minority Leader.

[tsowellfan]

That confirms that Palin was the right choice

[goldstategop]

Yeah this from the woman whose book bombed on Amazon. She has no idea how much the country despises her! Nancy Pelosi is not fit to shine Sarah's shoes!

Oh the leader of the single digit approval rated Congress speaks out! How are those book sales?!

[PhilosopherStones]

LOL!

Ms 14% mocks McCain for picking Ms 80%.

Only here in SF would PeLOSSi even be considered a decent politician...

[Bean Counter]

I wonder if Pelosi ever meets herself coming around a corner...??

Well I was shopping for a new car, which one's me?
A cool convertible or an SUV.

Too bad I didn't know my credit was whacked,
cuz now I'm driving off the lot in a used sub-compact.

Now instead of lookin' fly and rollin' phat,
my legs are sticking to the vinyl and...

... my posse's getting laughed at.

L-O-S-E, that spells "lose," gaffes galore and Chris Matthews..

“He knows better than that”

What a b*%th! Let her go play bunco, or whatever she is playing in Hartford.

[frogjerk]

Hilarious!

said Saturday that GOP presidential candidate John McCain exercised "poor judgment" by selecting Sarah Palin as his running mate.

So the Democrats should be celebrating and preparing for victory then, right Pelosi?

This is like Republicans complaining if Obama had selected Kwame Kilpatrick for VP.

[the lastbestlady]

Wouldn't it be more believable if she said she was cleaning her house instead of going to a bocce tournament?
(apologies to all that play bocee)

[Blue Turtle]

I love this “heartbeat away” crap. Hey Pelosi, Obama is the top of the ticket with NO FRIGGIN EXPERIENCE.... HE HAS FAILED LEGISLATION, FAILED FRIENDS, FAILED PASTORS, and was a drug addict to boot....

[El Cid]

So sez Miz 9%...
You're right -- this is merely more confirmation that Mr. McCain picked the right person...

[bray]

Do Nothing Nancy knows something about bad choices. Hey 9%, if we need to know a good Face Stretcher, we’ll ask.

[Attention Surplus Disorder]

Absolutely, what better endorsement could there be?

[RichInOC]

Thanks for the ringing endorsement, Nance. I’m sure Sarah...and John...send their love.

Now go and play with your balls, there’s a good girl.
