Stephanopoulos Twice Refers to Nancy Pelosi as “Speaker”
NewsBusters ^ | May 7, 2006 | Brent Baker

On Sunday's This Week, George Stephanopoulos not once but twice, referred to Democratic House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi as “Speaker,” a title she would presumably get if Democrats win back the House this fall.

So, a Freudian slip by Stephanopoulos, a one-time staff member for the Democratic House leadership himself when they were in the majority?

Before signing aboard the Clinton campaign in 1991, Stephanopoulos was a floor assistant to then-House Majority Leader Dick Gephardt.

Interviewing Congressman Tom DeLay, the former House Majority Leader who suggested that if Democrats win control of the House they will pursue impeachment, Stephanopoulos countered:

“Democrats are also coming forward with another agenda, Speaker, ah perhaps Speaker Pelosi , she's certainly not the Speaker right now, the Democratic leader Pelosi says...”

Then with DNC Chairman Howard Dean, Stephanopoulos asserted to Dean's delight: "You talked about an ethics legislation coming forward in the first hundred days, that was not one of the top four pieces of legislation that Speaker Pelo -- uh, excuse me, I don't know why I've got that stuck in my head today-"

Dean chortled: "I'm glad.

I like the sound of that George, I like the sound of that!"

Good way to encourage Republican turnout, guys.

It looked like the Republican turnout was going to be pretty low. The right way for them to handle this would just be low key, and say "no, no, we're not thinking of impeachment, it was wrong when they did that to Bill Clinton and we wouldn't do it."

The "Build-a-Burgers" have selected her in Davos, with George "Steponallofus" privy to their decisions.

after DeLay noted how if Democrats win the House John Conyers will take over the Judiciary Committee and he has promised to launch impeachment hearings:

She is a speaker. In fact, that's all she does.

People actually watch and pay attention to George Stephanopoulos? Who would have believed that?

It wasn't an accident, but it isn't important. It was a girl thing where he was trying to make her feel better pulling the knife out of her back.

"...Clinton BootLickers Amalgamated...

That is a completly disgusting mental image. You have no idea where those boots have been. Or any other part of his wardrobe or body.

I've seen clips of her performance. I would characterize them as positively Orgasmic. She was beaming in the afterglow of uttering the words, absolutely in love with the prospect.

Ridiculous.

How Republicans vote is another matter entirely.
