Washington has never seen anything like Speaker Pelosi's ever-shifting tales of what she'd been told. Even Nixon didn't have this much trouble explaining what he knew and when he knew it.......if Pelosi knew waterboarding -- which she now sanctimoniously describes as illegal "torture" -- was on the CIA's list of Gitmo practices, why didn't she raise a ruckus at the time? ...... she says, she focused on "chang[ing] the leadership in Congress and the White House. That was my job." But now she seems to want anyone in the Bush admin who even uttered the word locked up. CIA Director Panetta said: "It is not our policy or practice to mislead Congress......CIA officers briefed truthfully on 'the enhanced techniques that had been employed.' "

“IS” a pickle
She tried to correct it by blaming Bush. Let’s see how that works.
Good Grief! I thought her job was to do the best for the United States! She's so shallow and dim.
Right on and perhaps a Pickled Skunk, just for fun.
I found it interesting how many of the “major” dailies managed to frame the issue as “Republicans land a rare blow on Pelosi” or “GOP could use Pelosi torture woes against Obama”. The objectivity of our “free press” is breathtaking.
That had to leave a mark!
EVEYONE should call their useless Congress critter and DEMAND that this foolish hag RESIGN AT ONCE. Committing Seppuku would be helpful but not necessary.
Pelosi is in trouble because she made an utterly idiotic lie. She made an utterly idiotic lie because she lives in a universe that ALLOWS her and her leftist ilk to play with the truth WITHOUT CONSEQUENCE. The natrual result of such conditions is unfolding before our eyes.
Now, wait’ll you see what complications and results these conditions produce WHEN Obozo is ensnared.
Shockeroo for sure.
All the plastic surgery is putting too much pressure on her brain and choking her thought process.
May she go down in Liberal flames and may she only be the first of many. The voters are pissed and the clueless wish to ignore the Tea Parties.
ROTFL.
Let's not forget how Pelosi got herself into this mess. DEMOCRATS were hot to "get Bush" ...... salivating to nail 'im with lawsuits. Then people started asking: What did Congress know? Weren't intelligence commitees briefed? Et voila. Pelosi was ranking member of the House Intel Committe at that time.
With apologies to Peter, Paul and Mary
What Panetta did was not that remarkable. Remember he works for the POTUS so he knows which side of the bread gets buttered
Pelosi is an idiot to take on the CIA even with the political hack Panetta as director
There is way more stuff under the surface here which Joe Public is not privy to that keeps this story having legs
A-m-e-n.
One fatal Dem predeliction is that they act like they are invisible...... The voters are pi**ed..... and they are paying very close attention.
Panetta has his own turf to protect and Pelosi apparently forgot the RATS are now in control. ...hence the “I meant Bush not the CIA” inner tube.
The Chickens are coming home to Roost. This may cost her a $B in lost Graft.
Pray for America

Botoxheimer’s!
