Who are you going to believe? The “blood-sucking lawyers” or the Liberals?

Just like they did for the rapist during all the Monica/Paula news. These people are ultra left wing statists. That is their only interest. The rest is window dressing to hide their agendas.

Marxists, all of them.

It’s amazing that the Speaker holds this much power over the others in her party that they would go to these lengths to rationalize her actions and excuse her obfuscation.

SanFranNan should resign immediately. Her actions in this matter have been smarmy and sleazy...all in the interest of preserving her precious public persona.

Madam Speaker, we already know who you really are. You can stop the charade, now.

To Libs, issues are nothing more than weapons to be aimed at Republicans.
Libs care about POWER!

When an issue threatens their power?

They will do what they need to do to protect their POWER!

Issues are a tool, not a goal.

We need to sensationalize, personalize, and polarize Nancy Pelosi every step of the way. Barack and Reid too. We keep the pressure, we just might have a shot in 2010.

This is the same BS we got on weapons of mass destruction after invading Iraq. “We did not know, we were not told the truth, we .... blah, blah, blah”

If their lips are moving, they are lying!!!

Nancy Pelosi is a serial liar and no friend of national security.

““The information she was given was minimal, maybe not even accurate,” said Rep. Maurice Hinchey (D-N.Y.).”

Hinchey is a particularly nasty cuss. Maurice..what else is there to say?

You have to admit that at least they show loyalty, whereas Republicans would be moving heaven and earth to distance themselves, even if the charges are bogus (which they are not in the case.)

Republicans turned up the heat Wednesday when Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) threatened to try to call Pelosi as a witness in the Senate investigation of the interrogation program.

Threatened? Can she be called or not?

I think your the only one who gets it.

Power is what drives this so called party. Nothing gets in the way of it.

Examples:

Clinton - I did not have sex with that women. No shame- rats did not care a bit. He looked into the camera an lied, they loved his perversion , it was only a....

Nancy - I never saw or knew anything. No shame again. She looked into the camera and lied . She is starting to remember, its evolving, she wasn’t in the majority, and she didn’t do it. Bla Bla -Bla.

Don’t think for a minute rats care a wit about the country. It’s only get the money, an control. Our guys fu^ked us! Its start all over again

I believe she can be called before the Senate Judiciary Committee if the Dems start an investigation and start calling other witnesses before the committee.

I think Graham spoke out to let the Dems know he’d do it as a preemptive strike to stop any investigation.

And how the heck would Maurice know?

Those briefings were confidential I thought.

A Statement from the Speaker of the House

To Whom It May Concern:

In recent weeks I have stated that I was never briefed, nor had any prior knowledge of, the use of so-called “enhanced interrogation techniques” on detainees by U.S. interrogators. Today, the Central Intelligence Agency released documents indicating they had briefed me on the use of these techniques in September 2002. Having no personal recollection of this meeting, I directed my clerical staff to retrieve meeting notes for the date in question.

After a thorough review of these notes, it appears I was unaware this meeting was with the Central Intelligence Agency. Instead I was under the impression that it was a coffee chat with Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence, an important constituent group from my home district. In their description of waterboarding, fuzzy caterpillars, etc., I simply assumed they were speaking of new Castro District trends in sexual foreplay. Had I known the real truth — that they were describing the grim tools of a sadistic torture regime beyond the worst imaginings of Mengele himself — I would have vigorously objected, and would have never cheerfully told my briefers, “play safely!”

I am sorry for any confusion my earlier statements might have caused, and I hope this clarification puts the matter to rest. For future reference, please direct inquiries regarding torture issues within the California 8th District B&D community to my outreach coordinator Julian Julian Julian. All other torture-related issues should be directed to my National Security and Drag Queen Affairs Advisor, Lady Marmalade.

Sincerely,

Nancy Pelosi
Speaker of the House of Representatives
