The National Republican Congressional Committee is urging Gen. Stanley McCrystal to put House Speaker Nancy Pelosi "in her place" for weighing in on Afghanistan -- prompting one female Pelosi ally to blast the House GOP as "80 percent male," "100 percent white" -- and completely out of touch.
On Monday night, Pelosi told Charlie Rose "should go up the line of command" instead of publicly opining on strategy -- prompting a swift, sneering reaction from the GOP committee.
Mocking the first female speaker as "General Pelosi," an NRCC spokesman wrote, "If Nancy Pelosi’s failed economic policies are any indicator of the effect she may have on Afghanistan, taxpayers can only hope McCrystal is able to put her in her place."
Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D-Fla.), who is close to Pelosi, could barely contain her anger.
"I think the place for a woman is at the top of the House of Representatives," said Wasserman Schultz.
"It's evidence they long for the days when a woman's place was in the kitchen. Now a woman is third in line for the presidency... But it's not surprising, coming from a party that's 80 percent male and 100 percent white," she added, referring to the composition of the House GOP conference.
NRCC Spokesman Ken Spain was unrepentant, telling POLITICO that Pelosi is "playing out of her league," and questioned the reluctance of Democrats to call for McCrystal to testify in a hearing on the war.
Spain: "Spare us the lectures and mock-outrage. The Speaker of the House is taking on a highly decorated general who has outlined a strategy in Afghanistan that she once claimed to advocate... [S]he’s playing out of her league and she knows it.”
Is there something wrong with being male and white?
Pelosi and her fellow travelers do everything in their power to make sure that no blacks ever get elected as Republicans in House, then they complain that there aren’t any black Republicans in the House.
In 2007, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) said to CNN’s Larry King, “Don’t take it from me. Just listen to the generals. General after general after general has said that this course of action is not going to bring our troops home soon.”
The House Rat side is 100% gay.
“80 percent male, 100 percent white”
Sounds like heaven!
Yes, 3 Hispanic Republican members from Wasserman Schultz’s own state, plus Joseph Cao from Louisiana.
Liberals have worked tirelessly to make sure the races are separate in mind and ideology. Diversity equals socialism and all minorities are fighting to get their “pie of the pie from whitey.”
Whites are culturally and socially geared toward constitutional freedom, independence, education, work and industry.
Liberals have divided the races with socialist ideology and racism’s scapegoating and hate. That is “diversity.”
Yay!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
