Remember what a crybaby the unhappy Barney Frank was in victory, unable to graciously acknowledge his opponent’s spirited, but, alas, unsuccessful campaign? Well, as crass as the mean-spirited man from Massachusetts was in victory, his similarly septuagenarian party leader, outgoing House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, is graceless in defeat.
Via JammieWearingFool, comes her commentary on her successor’s tears.
Incoming Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi said incoming Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) is “known to cry.”
“You know what? He is known to cry. He cries sometimes when we’re having a debate on bills. If I cry, it’s about the personal loss of a friend or something like that. But when it comes to politics — no, I don’t cry. I would never think of crying about any loss of an office, because that’s always a possibility, and if you’re professional, then you deal with it professionally,” Pelosi (D-Calif.) told the New York Times magazine.
She noted: “I have deep emotions about the American people. If I were to cry for anything, I would cry for them and the policies that they’re about to face.”
How rich is this comment. Couldn’t she just acknowledge the humanity of the man and many of us cry at emotionally challenging — or uplifting — moments? Why does she have to use the occasion to try to lecture her partisan adversary on her superior temperament. Well, if she she really believes what she says, she doesn’t lead by example. Later in the post, JWF asks, “As to her claim she never cries over politics, how does she explain this performance?” Yep, he’s got video of Pelosi crying over politics.
And her nastiness is on full display in her comment on the tears she claims she would shed.
Yup, he’s got the San Francisco Democrat demonstrating, by her own standard, some very unprofessional behavior.
Nancy a hypocrite?? Say it ain’t so!
It is instructive into how she controls her caucus; she abuses, insults, and demeans anyone who would dare disagree with her.
Nancy Pelosi is little more than Veruca Salt with twice the money, half the class, and a fraction of the looks.
Eh I kinda agree with her cause I was getting really pissed off with people crying over Obama’s speech and everything else. I would be annoyed with people crying over things Hillary did, even when she shed a tear I didn’t think it was right.
Its politics, cry about something worth crying about.
Like that episode of Smallville were Clark’s dad dies, real sad.
Nancy Pelosi is a Cenobite from Hellraiser; she has no soul, but she loves torturing others while she laughs in her best emotionally detached way that only a Fembot could possess. She’s clueless.
Okay, so Nancy is definitely not crying in that video.
John Beohner is definitely fake crying in his.
If you can’t figure this stuff out, then you’ve either got a kindergartener’s ability to read peoples’ emotions, or you’re an Orwellian doublethinker.
Pelosi is reluctant to relinquish her power as Speaker of the House; she also shows she’s a sore loser. Tough stuff botox queen. You made your bed with napalm, ear wax, rusted nails, & shark’s teeth. Now lay on it.
Have you considered that maybe she really is broken up inside, but can’t cry? Are the tear ducts anywhere near her eyes anymore? Has the botox fouled up the works? Sounds like she’s just bitter on her inability to show emotion and has to respond as such.
And if she can’t cry for the 13 trillion she’s helped put on the backs of Americans, I don’t know what will make her at this point…
So Nancy Pelosi reveals she’s a bitch. Big deal. She’s not showing us anything we didn’t already know.
Standard operating procedure for the progressive left.
And again our resident racist sexist socialst tries to claim that he can see into the hearts and minds of people.
Remember, is Levi’s world brown people can’t understand democracy, and men can’t cry.
It must suck to be Levi. I mean, in his general life. It must suck ass so bad.
If she isn’t, that’s even WORSE. You ain’t making a good case for her, Levi. She made about as much since as your Ass Hat in Chief off teleprompter.
EDIT: sense
When Nancy cries, Marxism dies somewhere in the world.
What an ungrateful woman. Even though I repudiate this woman, I cannot deny how far she has gotten and, for better or worse, what she has accomplished, and what a blessed life she has led. Especially as a woman in politics. And yet, that is not enough.
‘Sure looks like the only way for the BotoxBiddy to feel big is to step on others…pathetic.
And what of Rangel’s blubbering the other day?
You mean in the same way that Republicans weren’t good sports when they couldn’t grab the White House in 92 or 96 and they hounded Clinton for his entire presidency? Eventually, the best they could was get him for lying about having sex. There’s a high crime and misdemeanor for you.
Or how about current Republican senate leadership by Mitch McConnell – what’s his agenda? Top priority: Get Obama out in 2 years. Well that should be great comfort to all the people who have believed the lies and distortions Republicans have fed constituents the last few years. Especially those who continue to believe the president isn’t a real American.
So, don’t talk about Nancy Pelosi being a sore loser (who, for the record, I really don’t like). The Republicans have played the role of sore winners and losers for nearly 20 years.
Shorter Kevin:
Waaaahhhh!
Yes Kevin, admitted perjury to a grand jury is a felony. Darn those evil people for wanting a nation of laws, not feelings.
This might surprise you, but given the Democrats were trying to get President Bush out in one year.
When I look at my dog’s poo, I think of Rep. Nancy Pelosi’s sweet nothings as she tries to take the remaining money in my wallet & my bank account.
