C-SPAN, last night, carried Nacy Pelosi's press conference in which she and Bob Matsui did the House Minority post-mortem on Tuesday's election. She is hard to watch/listen to but there is something compelling; it's like watching a snake.
She didn't learn a thing! Not that you'd really expect a stupid left-winger like that to learn anything, but it is still startling to realize that her post-election speech was probably exactly the same as her pre-election speech!
She claimed victory for a number of items including "knocking off" the most senior Republican Congressman (I didn't know that), said that Republican victories in Texas were illegal and would be fixed by the courts and very affirmatively denigrated Republican accomplishments and emphasized her eagerness to get involved in the 2006 "cycle."
But, she acted as though nothing had changed. She mouthed the same litany of vague claims attacking Bush that most of the electorate had just rejected. She whined about hoping for more bipartisanship like there used to be when the dems controlled the House, took a bunch of cheap shots at Tom De Lay and spoke like nothing had happened.
Pelosi is an ultra-left winger from San Francisco and has all those San Fran affectations that the pseudo-elitists/hipsters (if that is still a word) from there exhibit. She has absolutely no hint that most of the country has rejected her and all her silly, arrogant pretenses of superiority. Her demands are the same old tired list of things they've always fabricated and she presents them as though she represented an equal and that the items on her list deserved consideration. She has learned NOTHING!!
If there are claims of lack of bipartisanship, of friction between the good guys and the scumbags, much of the blame can be found in the person of House MInority Leader Nancy Pelosi!! She is not a leader, she is a dis-unifier, a nasty bitch with no concept of what is happening in this country.
If the dems are REALLY interested in regaining some stature and trust, they would do well to replace Pelosi with some one not oblivious to the world east of the coast line.
They NEVER do!!
Good. I hope they keep her in the leadership. Look how well she and the others have grounded themselves upon the rocks and we sailed past. Let them remain ignorant in the waters of ideas, as we sail in the sunshine.
Good. I hope they give her plenty of airtime.
Yeah I bet Frost, Lampson et al, have a leg to stand on. Got their butts kicked too.
let the lezbo talk.
The more americans hear her drivel the better !
I think this is great! This means the Democrats still don't get it. This means the Democrat Party will continue to lose power and continue to die. They are imploding. This is what I predicted. This Party is the Party of taking no responsibility and blaming others. They will keep blaming Repubicans and probably look crazier than they did during this election cycle. It will definitely be getting funnier.
She is truly nasty-- didn't she wear a hot pink suit at Regean's memorial in the rotunda?
Anyhow, Botox does kill brain cells.
Oh really? Hey, Nancy: In case no one ever told you, it's not nice to mess with Texas.

Is it me, or is there not a strong resemblance between Pelosi and Gloria Alred?
There seems to be a frame of mind they both share that disengages critical thought and puts their mouths into over-drive.
Pelosi should be made into the posterperson of what is wrong with the Democratic party.
Yeah...reaching out, but there's nothing to reach out to except a fang!
I say hurray Pelosi. As long as she and the others of her ilk remain in a position of power, the Dems will keep losing ground nationally. So go Nancy go!
Some of her brain must have gotten tucked in with her face.
Good for us, consevatives, and republicans in general.
I guess she'll never be able to use my tagline.
If Daschle was said to be worth 3 Senators, then Pelosi is worth negative 10 Congressmen.
Hey Nancy: Don't you just love the taste of bile in the morning? Tastes like defeat!
Just heard Arlen Spector on Fox news commanding Bush that he not send some anti-abortion conservative Justice up to replace Rhenquist. Sure glad to hear Arlen is reaching out to these poor Dems.
You hit the nail on the head. The thing is, since they don't understand why they lost, it will never happen.
She would change election results with the Republicans in a nano second.
