Where on earth is my brain? It was here just a minute ago!

See Video Did Press Secretary Robert Gibbs know he was about to set off a firestorm this Sunday when he “stated the obvious” to David Gregory that there “are enough seats in play” for the GOP to take the House this November? Chances are, yes. This administration if far too media savvy to think a quote like that would do anything but set off a firestorm. Their motivation for doing so, however, remains unclear.
I’ve noted in earlier posts I thought this was the administration’s subtle attempt to have its cake and eat it too. Mediaite’s Tommy Christopher thinks this was “stealth attempt to energize the Democratic base, and all those Obama voters who said “Mission: Accomplished” after he was elected.” Which also makes sense — a lot of ink has recently been devoted recently to the lack of enthusiasm in Obama’s base.
One person who was apparently energized by Gibb’s comments was Nancy Pelosi, who apparently called Gibbs “politically inept” during Tuesday night’s House Democratic Caucus meeting. From CQPolitics:
Things heated up as Pelosi jumped in and blasted Gibbs for making “politically inept” comments, according to one source…“It was bad,” another source said. “She was like: ‘I don’t appreciate it. I don’t know who this guy is. I’ve never met him before. And he’s saying that we’re going to lose the House.’”
That certainly sounds energized (also, is it possible Gibbs and Pelosi don’t know each other?) The same report says that a White House legislative liaison told Pelosi he “did not think Gibbs’ comments were a coordinated statement.” What’s unclear is whether she believed this.
Meanwhile during a visit to Mission Neighborhood Centers in San Francisco Monday Pelosi was singing calmer tune. She told the audience there that

HE’S “politically inept”? Holy smokes, has she looked at the woman in the mirror lately?
Ugh.
Truth to the progressives is like garlic to vampires.
if Pelosi castrates Gibbs will anyone care?
You needs balls to get castrated.
Just “inept,” Nancy. Why use two words when one will do?
Where on earth is my brain? It was here just a minute ago!
Gosh they won’t even hear the truth from their own camp.
There, fixed it.
This from the woman who was given a Dem in the White House, huge Dem majorities in both Houses and can only just squeak through her wished-for legislation. The media are praising her as the 'strongest Speaker ever' but I think she is weak, inept, hypocritical, and a thorough disgrace to the female gender.
Pot meet Kettle.
A tin foil theory I have read and heard is that Obama and the globalist gang may just try to have a lame duck session of congress and hammer carbon trading and other things through before the new Congress seats in January.
Most likely even if Dems maintain control, it won’t be by enough to get most of the radical stuff through.
So the goal may be to actually have a massive lame duck session before the lights are turned out on their power.
Not sure if that is even workable, but hey, a theory is what it is...a theory.
If Obama is a true believer he really and truly may not care if he gets a second term, just get the radicalism in place any means necessary. Unlike Clinton, who wanted to win and be popular.
If you kids keep arguing back there I run the bus over both of you.
FINALLY!!!! Nazi Pelousy says something I agree with.
I wondered who was bringing the popcorn ;-)
Will anyone notice? Will Gibbs?
Hearing that from Pelosi is like having Donald Trump telling you that you’ve got a bad hair cut.
LMAO Good one she is deranged.
