House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi applauded Rep. Bobby Rush, D-Ill., who was admonished Wednesday for wearing a "hoodie" sweatshirt during a speech in memory of Trayvon Martin, a teenager who was killed in February.

"I think that Bobby Rush deserves a great deal of credit for the courage he had to go to the floor in a hoodie, knowing that he would be told he was out of order," Pelosi told reporters Thursday. "He quickly left the floor, he wasn't contentious about it. But he made his point. He called attention to a situation in this country that needs to be addressed in a way a man in a suit and tie might not be able to do."

Looks like he’ll be gettin’ some tonight..

YEAH...that’s a Marxists idea of “Courage”....wearing a hoodie....they are idiots.

Nice to hear Nancy Pelosi (D-Castro District) chime in on this.

[Cboldt]

Those Republicans are politicizing this event.

Did the revenant witch’s head bobble as her blank eyes wandered around the room? The pustule on the Potamac is the social and personality sump tank for a population of three hundred million people.

The worst schizophrenic couldn't be *that* desperate.

[BuffaloJack]

Gimme a break.
Bobby Rush is a former member of the Black Panthers.
It is perfectly correct to boot him out.

[xtinct]

Nancy Pelosi has proven once again that she is a nitwit.

But then we all knew that to be a fact.

[Jaded]

She is such an idiot. The Lunatics really are running the asylum.

[SMARTY]

These idiots need to grow up...and remember where they are!

[Texan5]

Oh, Good God! The woman has run bloody mad-surely she must be certifiable...

[Feckless]

situation in this country that needs to be addressed

Is she talking about the situation of having more Communists per capita in the Congress of the United States than were in the jungles of Viet Nam? We dropped napalm on little commie bastards in black pajamas who weren't as invested in Marxist Socialism as today's Demonrat Party.

[NRA1995]

I would call it stupidity, not courage; but then, I’m not a liberal....

[Biggirl]

This Trayvon Martin stuff is getting out of hand.

[N. Theknow]

Maybe someone should show some courage and speak with a British accent to relieve all the racial tension around the deaths of the two British tourists at the hands of another black teen.

Perhaps a container of crickets would serve as a great audio-visual aid.

Then someone else could wear a WWII uniform to show courage for the Veteran who's wife was beaten to death and he was hospitalized because of the attack by another black teen.

More crickets!

and then someone could wear a badge to show courage for yet another policeman shot to death by another black teen. IIRC, this makes about 12 LEO's slain by black youths just in the past 5 years.

More crickets!

And all of this is just in central Florida in the past month.

I wish she’d wear one on the House floor except I’d like to see her wear one backwards, so that the hoodie part would cover her face.

[Oldeconomybuyer]

Alinsky is proud of today’s democrat party.

[WayneS]

At this point in her life it is apparently WAY too late for her to learn that it is better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to open one’s mouth and remove all doubt.

[dragonblustar]

Pelosi didn’t mind Robert Bird’s hoodie either.....
