Well, House Democrats aren’t very interested in backing up the woman they elected as Speaker of the House. Nancy Pelosi claimed the CIA lied to Congress. In response, Rep. Rob Bishop, R-Utah, sponsored a resolution to create a bipartisan congressional panel to investigate her claims. The House, voting largely on partisan lines, rejected that probe.
Given how much attention this story has gotten, with even liberal friends of mine saying that her explanations don’t pass the “bulls***” test, you’d think House Democrats would welcome a probe as it would exonerate their Speaker. (That is, if they believe she’s telling the truth.) Democrats may not want to remember this, but former President Bush did not block proposals to investigate their claims that he lied us into the Iraq War. And the Silbermann-Robb invesigation along with the Senate Intelligence Committee probe dismissed those claims (as did Lord Butler’s Report in Britain).
My guess those is Democats don’t want to similarly investigate Mrs. Pelosi because they don’t believe her and don’t want to revisit the embarrassment of her performance last week when, a few months hence, the panel reaches its conclusion that Mrs. Pelosi slandered the CIA.
So, instead of addressing the issue of her boss’s deception, her spokesman Nadeam Elsham does what Democratic staffers do best: blame Republicans. She claimed that the GOP was engaged in “partisan politics and an attempt . . . to distract from the real issue of creating jobs and making progress on health care, energy and education.” Well, Miss Pot, that kettle sure does look black. What do you think Mrs. Pelosi was doing in bringing up this issue in the first place? And what has you been doing when her credbility has been called into question? And what are you doing now? Blaming Republicans. And that’s partisan politics, pure and simple.
It seems House Democrats are trying to distract from the issue of dishonesty among their leaders and growing corruption within their ranks. And this under the helm of the Speaker who promised us “the most honest, most open and most ethical Congress in history.”
UPDATE: Factcheck offers a “detailed time line of Pelosi’s shifting accounts” (Via Instapundit).
I’d like to know what the hell liberals have done to create jobs, make progress on health care, energy and education.
By shuttering the Chrysler plants, laying off all the workers, Obama now has the need for more government workers at the unemployment office. Next week he will add the GM workers to the unemployment rolls. Some how Obamateleprompter will find a way to say he “saved or added jobs.”
I can’t believe that for weeks this vile, despicable gargoyle has been permitted to tell one shameless and pathetic lie after another to the point where she has now been forced to slander innocent civil servants because she thinks it’s going to save her worthless a*s. But what I REALLY can’t believe is that no one has called for the only viable method that could possibly get the truth out of this sociopathic, elitist shrew. Isn’t it obvious?
WATERBOARDING.
Nancy Pelosi is a train wreck that is too stupid to handle Republican politics. I don’t understand why people on the right would demand this woman resign – clearly she is a gift that keeps on giving. Republicans keep laying bear traps for her and she just keeps stumbling into them. She’s doing more to enact Republican legislation and sweep Bush era misdeeds under the rug than anyone in Washington right now.
But this nonsense about her saying the CIA lied to her is, like everything else a Republican complains about, hysterical, overblown, insincere, hypocritical, and opportunistic. I believe the CIA has lied to all sorts of people about all kinds of things over the years. In December, a Republican accused the CIA of lying to Congress. Republicans threw a hissy fit when the NIE came out that said Iran wasn’t building nuclear weapons. All that the Republicans are doing on this issue is feigning indignation because that’s all they know how to do. It’s the play they run every single time, and it always throws these moronic Democrats for a loop, especially their leadership like Pelosi, Reid, and Obama.
#4: “In December, a Republican accused the CIA of lying to Congress.”
Levi, the difference is that Rep. Hoekstra (R) pursued the issue of the CIA lying about the circumstances of the death of Veronica Bowers and her child in Peru for YEARS and made public the findings of the CIA’s Inspector General that there was evidence of a CIA cover-up. Pelosi, on the other hand, has accused the CIA of lying to her in order to cover her a*s politically and her party has thwarted attempts to investigate the matter. And now, Queen Pelosi has decreed that she will not comment on the matter any further. However, we’re all well aware that the pesky, annoying details about any issue are of no interest to you.
“Republicans threw a hissy fit when the NIE came out that said Iran wasn’t building nuclear weapons.”
Again, Levi, I know the details are inconsequential to you, but it turns out (shocker!) that Iran IS STILL BUILDING NUCLEAR WEAPONS just as it has been all along. But you’re right–such a trivial error in the threat assessment of Iran certainly didn’t justify the Republicans’ “hysterical, overblown, insincere, hypocritical, and opportunistic” hissy fit. I’m sure everything is going to be hunky-dory now that Obama has asked Ahmadinejad to “unclench the fist.”
I think Levis complaint is with the Democrats for opening their mouths. hehe And again my suggestion for the morons in that party …..all of you, use teleprompters like Obama. Then if you make a mistake you can blame the man behind the curtain.
“we’re closing GITMO, we’re not closing GITMO, we’re bringing the terrorists to mainland US, we’re not bringing terrorists to the US.” “we’re helping Chrysler avoid bankrupcey , we’re helping Chrysler declare bankrupcey, we’re creating and saving jobs, we hit a new record unemployed of 6.7 million, we’re helping GM
avoid bankrupcey,………oh oh. Morons, liars, tax cheats, boobs and dummies. 126 days, he’s doing so great!! hehe
Wow, Pelosie must be toast.
Levi’s almost stopped defending her.
LOL…Levi is just doing as the Obama Party orders and trying to throw Pelosi under the bus.
however, we should remember that, during the campaign, the leftist liars like Levi were playing up Pelosi and talking about the importance of having an Obama Party-controlled Congress led by Pelosi and Reid.
Pelosi is the leader of the Obama Party. Pelosi is fully supported and endorsed by Obama. Pelosi is representative of the views of every Obama Party member.
