Pelosi's Fancy Footwork (WaPo turns on The Queen)
Wa Po ^ | 5/15/09 | Milbank

Posted on 05/15/2009 7:03:21 AM PDT by pabianice

Nancy Pelosi is a woman of many talents. Yesterday, she performed the delicate art of backtracking while walking sideways.

Pelosi's Fancy Footwork

Pelosi: Bush Team Misled Her on Waterboarding

The speaker of the House had just read a statement accusing the CIA of lying and was trying to beat a hasty retreat from her news conference before reporters could point out contradictions between her current position and her previous statements.

"Thank you!" an aide called out to signal an end to the session. Pelosi walked, sideways, away from the lectern and, still sidling in a sort of crab walk, was halfway to the door when a yell from CNN's Dana Bash, rising above the rest of the shouting, froze her in the aisle.

"Madam Speaker!" the correspondent called out. "I think there's one other question that I would like to ask, if that's okay."

"Sure, okay," Pelosi said, in a way that indicated it was not okay. Pelosi had no choice but to sidle back to the lectern.

It would be better if an R demanded she stepped down. That way when she does, some might notice the R party still exists.

For that reason, they will probably have a D do it, so they can claim that they are serious about cleaning out corruption... try to paint it as cleaning house.

Bozo wants her out of the picture, you bet. steny hoyer is the #2 and is real tight with rahmbo. Plus he is a much slicker weasel than pelosi.
Note to nan: One must be careful when slinging chainsaws.

He was probably thinking they were going to ask if this had been an enchanted press conference!

Even ownership of the media isn’t enough to help the truly moronic. Yet although an abject liar, nothing will come of it.

“C’mon...she didn’t have any kind of episode or anything. She went out there “guns blazing”. Just ask Baghdad Bob SFGate”

Wow—that correspondent has indeed entered Baghdad Bob land.

Finally, in a burst of sideways energy and with the help of her aides, the speaker crab-walked out of the room.

She didn't slither out of the room, as usual....she instead "crabbed-walked". LOL

Dana Milbank, Conservative?

Democrat butt-boy up to his eyebrows with military secrets ready for the front page of WaPo when instructed by the 'Rats who leaked them in the first place.

Milbanks has an agenda.

I may never have another opportunity to say this, so here it goes.

Mr. Dana Milbank, THAT was an excellent piece of work.

If the WaPo and prissy little fags like Dana Milbank have turned on you, you’re done in the Democrat Party.

"The fact that WaPo is trashing her tells me the Bozo admin wants to replace Pukeosi as speaker." Opineapple‘s, excellent summary.

"Rush thinks she’ll hold onto her job."

In a way I hope she does. She is such an embarrassment to the Dems. Let her be the face of the party. I hope they go forward with their show trial over EIT's too. Most Americans have not forgotten 911 and we were all in favor of these methods at the time. The Dems will be exposed as the total hypocrites they are if they go through with this.

She's toast...obama has put the word out that she has to go.

How does that work, exactly? Because I don't think she's going voluntarily.

Wow...that’s a truly vicious article.

Devastating. She's done. It's only a matter of time. It's way too late to drop the "torture" theme and she's sitting square in the bullseye. You have to wonder who's sitting there with her that we don't know about yet, because the pertinent memo is still sitting there waiting to be leaked. I'm guessing a lot of people in DC are wondering that very thing right about now.
